Second Series

Spiritual Experiences and Human Defects

Guru,

My head, my head

And the damned fever –

I am half dead!

Cheer up! Things might have been so much worse. Just think if you had been a Spaniard in Madrid or a German Communist in a concentration camp! Imagine that and then you will be quite cheerful with only a cold and headache. So

Throw off the cold,

Damn the fever,

Be sprightly and bold

And live for ever.
