mind-boggling mind!

Quite queer

this creature is

now calm

and now confused, perturbed and fussy!

O i pity you!

restless, always seeking solace!

here

there

everywhere

found it?

no no no no no no

the most delicate, the most flimsy, what a thing you're

O beautiful mind?

thing? Are you a thing?

Impossible. Science says if it's a thing it's got mass,

and mind ~ you’re not a solid, liquid or gas

Tell me tell me what’re you?

You’re no matter for sure as defined by science for you're massless, weightless, colourless, odourless and so on and so forth

but i know 

that you exist!

i can feel you!

You are there

and because you’re there

this big busy beautiful mysterious seductive world exists.

Sages say the world exist within you.

I wonder!

The world, so big, so vast, so colossal and they say it lies in you, dear mind,
whereas you yourself are situated in a tiny brittle skull!

I don’t believe them!

This world is pure matter!

And my enigmatic mind you, you’re actually a no-matter.

And how is it that they say that the world, the limitless universe lies in you, you a non-material???

I don’t understand their words nor do i get you!

Who are you, who’s me, what’s this world and what’s matter and what’s no matter!

my skull aches now. I sigh!

well but one thing is for sure,

mind’s queer!

All are the same today

As they were yesterday or the day before yesterday,

these filthy streets, sweet home, parents, siblings, friends, birds and trees

but mind has changed

since the day before yesterday and it’s still changing!

It changes and moves

much faster than a drop of water in a stream

It’s nimbler than the wave of sound

or the noiseless winged light

now it loves, now it hates

now it wants to live, now to die

now it's good and now malicious

now it smiles and now it cries

o unsteady mind! you make me suffer a lot!

OK OK, yes you charm, you delight, i like you, alright? But believe me
you make me suffer a lot day and night.

Now, i have lost faith in you

look i don't believe you

because you change like a shape formed by clouds

you stagger, you flicker you waver like a lamp visited by a wind!

o mind

how can something be so inconstant!

Your inconstancy, your instability hurts me!

Well i'll see you.
I have heard something, a secret, about some esoteric trick!

some say there exist ways

ways to chain you

ways to bind you

to cage you, to tame you

and put you in the bars!

They say some Indian sages have found out

how to bridle you! la la la !

well, if they really have, i'll too!

i'll learn from them if there's a way

any way

and then

i'll make you stand still

unlike a ray of light

unlike the wave of sea

but calm, unperturbed and quiet

and then

I'll unite with and lend you my identity or take yours

and then

you'll hear the world, messy and noisy,

you'll feel it,

you'll see it tempt you

but you'll not alter

only smile like an enchanted artist's portrait of a Vedic deity!

i'll get you then!
La la la!
