   Krishna might have told Arjuna he, Krishna, was playing   
   hide and seek as being all the forms Arjuna saw   
   on the battlefield as his cousins.   
      
   If such an interpretation is similar to having the mind,   
   which was in Christ, who, being in the form of God,   
   did not think it too much of a problem to take on   
   the form of a hue-guy for a spell, then,   
   that leaves the Buddha-dude   
   for one to identify with   
   as Being of a sort.   
      
   When the Great Actor takes the Stage,   
   all the other sets of eyes and ears pay attention   
   as if they were, themselves, other than the Great One.   
      
   If, in a dream, as it were, you were   
   to appear as your own self and tell the others   
   who, in your dream, that you are dreaming, appear   
   to you to be not you they would, naturally, pay attention.   
      
   They are your shadows, your reflections, you see, in them.
