Those who fight And domesticate tigers With their voice and hands Are the real swamis Not those who shoot them Or subdue them Or abuse them For the tiger Is a unique species And can only be met By another tiger The teamer of Wild tigers Is the teamer of wild passions For the tiger is cruel Without mercy And so, its rulers Demon-tigers Are supposed to humble us stun the tiger bind him with a chain leave him without assistance And… close your worldly ambitions They lead nowhere Subdue the tigers of ignorance Roaring in the jungle of your mind
