The Mind is a RascalA Poem by AiR - Atman in RaviThe Mind is a Rascal, it makes me fear It robs my Bliss, it robs my Cheer It makes me think, it is the King But in fact, it causes my suffering The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! I have a Body, my Body I can see But where is this Mind and Ego, that says 'me'? It binds me with the myth, doesn't let me be free Stops me from being who I am meant to be The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! What is the Mind, it is a bundle of Thoughts And in these Thoughts, we are all Caught! Who are we? This Truth, we forgot Instead, stress, worry, anxiety is brought The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! You have touched your nose, you have pulled your ears You see with your eyes, it also sheds tears But have you ever seen your Mind? It creates so much misery, it makes us grind! The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! The Mind is a Monkey, it jumps from Thought to Thought! From Yesterday to Tomorrow, so Today, we forgot! The MonkEY is Ever-Yelling, Ever-Yearning because of its tail The EY of the MonkEY continues to make us fail The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! The Mind creates Negative Thoughts, locks us in NEP From Negative to Positive, we must flip over to PEP If we don't kill our Mind, it will bombard us with toxic Thoughts And in misery and sorrow, we will be Caught The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! Thoughts create Feelings, Feelings create Actions It is the Mind that controls all our Reactions If we don't control Thought, we will have a sad Destiny From habits and addictions, we shall not be Free! The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! Our Mind not only spoils our day, when we are Awake It creates Dreams and Nightmares, that are fake! Although Dreams are not real, the Mind makes us Fear We wake up with anxiety and lose all our Cheer The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! Kill the Mind, before the Mind kills you! Beware! This advice is absolutely True If you don't Still the Mind and Kill the Mind It will Kill your Peace, and Bliss you will not Find The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! Although this world is nothing but a drama It is the Mind that causes all the trauma We must flip from Thought to Thoughtlessness From a state of Mind to Consciousness The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! The Mind is like the Phoenix that rises from its ashes Although we kill our Mind, it returns and our Peace it snatches We must replace our Mind with Intellect Then we will Discriminate and be Free from what is incorrect The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! The Mind is a Monkey, we must beware of its tail EY that is Ever-Yelling and Yearning, and we fail The Monkey starts to ride our Life-Horse It rules over us, it becomes our Boss The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! The Mind is not alone, with the Ego it is ME It creates anger, hate and even jealousy Together, the Mind and Ego, ME, creates Karma And we return in a Rebirth in this drama The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! The funny thing is that there is no Mind We seem to be the Body and the Mind we can't find We must go on a Quest and Achieve the Goal And Realize that we are the Immortal Soul The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find! The Mind is a Rascal, it steals our Peace It makes us sick and mental medicine, increase This enemy doesn't leave us from Birth to Death And then, it returns in Rebirth, as we lose our Breath The only problem with my Mind Where is my Mind? I cannot find!
