Shark: Meanness
Shark, my shark,I am so proud of you.
Your meanness-consciousness
Is totally gone.
Therefore
You swim in the sea of light and eternal day.
I assure you, you shall not
Be asked to swim again
In the sea of water, mud and clay.
Sri Chinmoy, Animal Kingdom, Aum Publications, New York (printed by Aum Press, Puerto Rico), 1973
