377. The divine separation

Desire
Is your divine separation
    From the mineral life.

    Aspiration
Is your divine separation
    From the animal life.

    But
    Realisation
Is your divine union
    With the mindless mineral life,
    With the heartless animal life,
    With the soulless human life.
