15. Donkey, monkey and lion

```

Are you a donkey?

No, you are not.

Are you a monkey?

No, you are not.

Are you a lion?

Yes, you are.

Why are you not a donkey?

You are not a donkey

Because

You and dark ignorance-life

Are perfect strangers.

Why are you not a monkey?

You are not a monkey

Because

You and restless sound-life

Are perfect strangers.

Why are you a lion?

You are a lion

Because

You are roaming divinely and supremely.

For what?

Earth-transformation and God-manifestation. ```
