When the fear of camel is gone, the lion stops roaring

Unless a man becomes utterly innocent, free from past, so free that he is not even against the past ... Remember it, the person who is still against the past is not really free. He still has some grudges, complaints, some wounds. The camel still haunts him; the shadow of camel still follows. The lion is there but still afraid somehow of the camel, fearful that it may come back.
When the fear of the camel is completely gone, the roaring of the lion stops. Then the song of the child is born.

Each individual has to come to a very crystallised ego; only then is the dropping of any help, otherwise it does not.

Camel - dependence
Lion - independence
Child - interdependence

When u r the Child, no I, no thou, no fixation with yes or no, no obsession either to say yes always or to say no always; more fluidity, more spontaneity; neither obedience nor disobedience, but spontaneity. Responsibility is born. One responds to existence, does not react out of the past, and does not react of the future.
