Mind Transformation
As a leaking vessel never can fill
Waters of Life so pure and still
So distracted mind fails to retain
Wisdom’s nectar in its brain
To fill waters from wisdom’s spring
Our minds we must to stillness bring
Then our crystal bowl of tranquil mind
With Gnosis fills of supernal kind
But if the very thoughts of mind
Be as fleeting deer and hind
Darting wayward ways they find
Such men to wisdom’s ways are blind
To ease disease of random mind
A remedy suitable we must find
A rhythmic breathing tension free
With Absorption the sovereign key
Steady poise the arrow your will
And shoot the fleeting mind to still
the deer of thoughts, hinds & harts
Felled by your concentrated darts
As one by one they die away
Mind opens up to new day
Streams run tranquil willows sway
Here tame and gentle deer do play
Tamed and tuned to natures flow
Mind melts into the opal glow
Which radiates from the soul within
Where Wisdom’s mystic fire is king!
Hamsa Still
Opal Hamsa of the mystic skies
From whose bosom doth thou rise?
Where to where do flight you take
What fathomless Truth you awake!
I have no birth nor death in time
Unborn awake I never sleep
Kundali is the self-born Me
Moving creation from the deep!
My true self is the selfless Self
I came to be by Being!
Pulling the veil of Maya
By my will I am the Hamsa Still
Hamsa Eternal how may we
Being work-bound yet be everfree?
Enlightened action is the key
Which gives that final liberty!
Action from desires of the seeds
Of past or future thoughts
Creates a Karmic bondage which
Is ceaselessly with troubles fraught
Enlightened action doth arise
Within your crystal conscious skies
Experience of the Hamsa Still
Make you know Divinity’s will
Death
Why do people think of me,
What I am not supposed to be?
Death’s cold hand they often say,
Will snatch away your earthly stay.
They call me Death and yet
I take them to eternity.
Oh this paradox of Ignorance
Deludes humanity.
Men steeped in earthly ignorance
Do dread me as their foe
Knowing not that to their Souls
The Light of truth I show.
Ye Sons of Light, I am not night
Of darkness and despair
I come to save you from your woes,
Your worries and your cares.
To take you to the stillness
And that peace you often craved
That plenitude of quietude,
Land of the pure and brave.
I am the one and only way
To reach the goal sublime
Pass through my gates of Death you must
To meet your Lord Divine.
Then shun me not ye mortal men,
But Maya dream decline
She binds you to mortality,
I to Eternal life sublime.
Rejoice then when I come to you,
Each time at end of life,
It is to take you in my arms,
From worldly storms and strife.
Then with great lovingness and care
I’ll put you at His feet
Beseech of Him your cyclic ego
Never to repeat.
Such are my humble services
I offer to mankind
Do I do this for recompense?
.…No!….
It’s just my love that’s blind!
