I-XVIII

Get a self knowing eye and see thy soul,
In stems hidden yet see a jasmine whole.
If not like an arrow in the bow still,
See aim from the archers eye and will.¹

1.         Archer; a bow man. Since the arrow is not conscious of itself, it does not know how the bowman would use it, Here it means that your position would then be like a slave to be used at the will of the master.
