45. BELIEVING OR NOT BELIEVING

Believing nothing
You go to death-world
As an invited guest.

Believing something
You stay in your own world
Of merciless caution.

Believing everything
        Without concentrating
            And
        Without meditating
You enter into the frustration-world
As a tempted guest.
