Some spiritual folks attack the mind
as the Enlightenment period minded the heart.
The mind can be spirituality’s friend,
mind and heart can go hand in hand.
The mystic Sri Ramakrishna once said,
picture the mind as a white piece of cloth,
what color we stain it with,
is entirely of our own choosing.
When troublesome thoughts pop up,
be mindful and search for the source.
When loving thoughts appear
realize that God is behind them.
We cannot stop the mind,
the brook needs to be flowing,
With a little digging and patience though,
we can easily adjust its direction.
The sages tell us that the mind has to be still
to receive the Ultimate Truth.
True, but have a look at the brook,
you always find puddles that rest for a while.
