To Amarnath on poem

O mind, why do you think?

Have you ever thought about it?

Why are you so hungry for a continuous stream of thoughts?

Without a break.

Are you not tired yet from continuous thinking?...

 

 

 

Dear Amarnath ~ yes, I am so very weary...especially of the suffering that

comes from thinking or trying to control what cannot be controlled. This is a

beautiful poem. I am going to save it, for it gave me great solace. Did you

write it? I especially liked this passage:

 

A day will come when no thought waves will arise

from the ocean of the silent heart

A day of stillness and calm

of unfathomable silence and peace.

 

But, there is nothing to fear.

This is your home which is free of all fears.

And, the waves will rise again.

Not in striving and disappointment.

Not in fear, confusion, sorrow and pain.

 

The ocean will bring forth new waves

of peace and contentment

of joy and happiness

of divine strength and wisdom

of divine love and light

 

O mind, surrender and be happy

Be a humble instrument in the hands of God

Be Love

Be Compassion
