O Buddha!
O Buddha!Tell me,
WhyWere you so cruel
To Yashodhara, your beautiful wife?What made you
EscapeFrom her sleeping net?
“I wanted
To tell the worldThat I was totally
UnfulfilledIn my human life.
I escaped from my wife’sLove-Prison
BecauseHer larger self, the world,
NeededMy immediate service.”
