174. Believe your heart, believe your soul

Do not believe your greedy vital.
Your vital will instigate you
To aim at empty laurels.

Do not believe your clever mind.
Your mind will make you
Cogitate and cogitate
Until satisfaction-dove
Postpones its visit to you.

Believe your pure heart.
Your heart is all luminosity.
Believe your sure soul.
Your soul is all divinity.
