to save what you like
it needs a safe covering
to save your thoughts pure
it needs a pure covering
to save your friends circle
it needs a covering bond
clothes of flesh for us
to save us from inner outer birth round


clothes of flesh

Hi,

Absolutely. Clothes are the first sign of a civilised world. Its a primary necessity along with food and shelter. But " flesh of clothes " , here , typically means a final stage of spirituality where renouncement is a saint like act of absolution. Buddha did hit. Its a union with a higher power where the material world is left behind.

Cheers

Roying
