" Dwelling in the great treasury of light all day and all
night, you turn yourself into a lowly hireling, roaming in misery, a longtime
pauper.
This is your own conceit of inferiority. Having forgotten the call of your
noble origins. How sad it is to take up a nightsoil bucket and become a cesspool
cleaner, thinking of the body of pure light as a defiled body full of misery.
This is the saddest of sadnesses, which nothing can surpass."
-Zen Master Ejo
