Let nothing bind you:
If it is Duty, away with it.
If it is Law, disobey it.
If it is Opinion, go against it ...
Beware that you worship no false idols:
Take no crust of manners or whimsical desires,
No surface-lusts and frailties,
For the real You hidden down beneath:
But dig ...
Dig with shovel of will and engine of love and passion,
When the lonely day drags toward the lonelier night,
When betrayal and malice trip you and throw you on yourself,
Dig down to Self, and set God free ...
Bethink yourself!
God is the Life surging forward creatively,
The swimmer in space whipping up a foam of stars:
Clear your little channel for him ...
He is you ...
Then, shall a law be greater than God,
Shall an opinion shrink him,
A duty stay him?
Forth! Let nothing bind you!
