Analysis of I am not obsessed with outer robe.
I am not obsessed with outer robe.
Oysters are netted
by the fisherman
and are thrown away.
But sometimes we find
perls inside of them.
Sometimes cuckoo is
mistaken as crow
but when it coos
instead of cawing,
it mesmerises us.
Weeds are weeded
and kept under the sun for scorching.
But many weeds are
sources of invalueable medicines.
When the brass is coated,
it looks unshiny.
But when it is polished,
it becomes shiny.
So we shouldn't judge outer robe
but the inside of it
and remove the curtain of our eyes.
