(I − 6 The Message of Posture) Observe your body Mandala of the universe Observe your body Of ancient design Holy temple of consciousness Central stage of the oldest drama Observe its structured wonders
Skin Hair Tissue Bone Vein Muscle Net of nerve Observe its message
Does it merge or does it strain? Does it rest serene on sacred ground? Or tilt, propped up by wire and sticks? On tiptoe one cannot stand for long Tension retards the flow
Of the session it is said− Superfluous noise and redundant action Stand out− square, proud, cramped
Against the harmony Observe the Mandala of your body
