568. Slave and master

Who is the slave?
Who is the master?
Ah, you don’t know?
Just learn it from me
Once and for all:
The slave is the one
Who sincerely feels he is a slave;
The master is the one
Who foolishly thinks he is a master.
Sri Chinmoy, The Wings of Light, part 12, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
