After eating lunch I was sitting just contently relaxing. Then I see a fly in the bowl going after the left-overs. Flies have awful lives, they have to eat shit to live their short lives whilst constantly being scorned and chased away by people and cows alike. Worse, they have no understanding that they are already endowed with all the qualities of unlimted love, compassion and equanimity.
The fly carried on eating mired in the leftovers, whilst I carried on mired in the confusion of samsaric mind.
