Tame your mind
As I left my daytime resting place on Vulture Peak, I saw an elephant come up on the riverbank after its bath.
A man took a hook and said to the elephant,
"Give me your foot."
The elephant stretched out its foot;
the man mounted.
Seeing what was wild before
gone tame under human hands,
I went into the forest
and concentrated my mind.
