476. The folly of man

```

The folly of man!

He desires revelation before realisation.

He is afraid to climb high.

His concentration on truth

Threatens him and frightens him.

Alas, he is always assailed

By destructive memories.

Oblivion-life:

This is what he feels he needs

To perfect his life in God's Dream. ```
