Beyond the 'relative' view of self. Beyond the self who is always comparing and measuring against others, against the 'need for gain'. Look at how moving towards 'a lower and lower place' is portrayed as a benefit, a goal. A description of humility?
Like water:
"They say that flowing water never freezes
They say that running water never stagnates
I believe it is alive
Nourishes farms
Raises plants
Rears fish
Never want a higher place
Towards a lower and lower place
Like water
I hope to flow"
