Encumbered By Do’s And Don’ts

To free ourselves from our own dogma,
we cut the roots in our mind.

These roots are the do’s and don’ts we have acquired,
which cause us moments of discomfort.

This discomfort is invaluable in that it reveals our fixations.
Seeing these in the instant they arise,
we remain stable and at peace.

Now, we can see what to do, and what not to do,
without holding on to do’s and don’ts.

Through this mind training,
we do no harm.
