For example, you see a snake.🔗

• ❖ You could Approach the snake with the risk that it bites you - that would be like Śiva swallowing the poison
• ❖ Scream and run and make everyone else panic that would be like Śiva spitting out the poison and putting others into danger
• ❖ Or you can "live without taking in the poison or throwing it out" by quickly stepping away from the snake while shouting: "Watch out, a snake!" to warn others to not go close while the snake has a chance to move away from everyone

Live like Paramaśiva, be prepared for the poison also and let it not bring suffering to you When the number of thoughts has come down we experience bliss Listen to body intelligence rather than the mind and senses The Yogī whose mind is controlled remains steady as a lamp in a place without wind
