O mind, why are you thinking? ~ inspired by Amma

[Guest guest]

the following poem was inspired by Amma's words:

 

1) talk to your mind

 

2) "... to experience spiritual bliss, the head must drop down into the heart."

 

3) practice Shradha( Awareness )

 

 

 

O mind, why are you thinking? Has it got you anywhere?

 

For the world and all its problems are increasing everywhere

 

All the books and the computers ~ much confusion ~ easy to share

 

Does the logic, understanding bring you happiness? Are you Aware?

 

Are you tired of the never-ending office schedule?

 

Is it not a great burden that you bear?

 

Can you find a moment’s rest and freedom from your care?

 

You cannot find your home and rest-bed in the head

 

~ so be Aware!

 

But, the joy that your are seeking surely must exist somewhere

 

Yes, the path is straight and narrow but not far

 

~ fall from head to heart ~ and you are there!

 

Now, you’ve found the Peaceful Silence

 

~ don’t think, rest ~ but remain Aware!

 

You’ve found the Source of Love ~ begin rejoicing ~ yet stay Aware!

 

You’ve found Your Self and God ~ no need to go( just Be )everywhere!

 

Stay in the heart ~ avoid despair.
