Control the Fire: Let Your Fire not Harm You

Fire prepares its path,
yet, uncontrolled fire is dangerous.
Fire in us must give us a vision,
a vision guided and guarded by prudence.

Zeal is a fire,
yet, it must be given sight by reflection.
Zeal is fruitful,
only when it embodies wisdom.

Zealous, but no prudence,
pious but no conviction,
ambitious but no vision,...
See, the fire playing foul..

However devotional flavour they may have,
only prudent steps can be potentially fruitful and creative.

Devotion and piety alone do not necessitate growth,
they may be simply emotional expressions in spiritual disguise.
