Hua Hu Ching of Lao Tzu #10
by Lao Tzu
Ten
The ego is a monkey catapulting through the jungle:
Totally fascinated by the  realm of the senses,
      it swings from one desire to the next,
      one conflict to the  next,
      one self-centered idea to the next.
If you threaten it, it actually fears  for its life.
Let this monkey go.
Let the senses go.Let desires go.
Let  conflicts go.
Let ideas go.
Let the fiction of life and death go.
Just remain in  the center, watching.
And then forget that you are there.
