Even if a weightless thought <br />Thought to hit anyone <br />Is bound to make a bond <br />To make one more knot <br />In the karma string, <br />Won’t the mind bind <br />Me to the cycle of birth? <br /> <br />Yes… yes… mind is a hindrance <br />If it is fed by ego and ignorance <br /> <br />But mind is a powerful tool <br />Towards your salvation too! <br /> <br />Feed it daily with divine names <br />A few minutes daily in beginning <br />Then both morning and evening <br />Then all day kindle the longing! <br /> <br />Let the love fire catch Your heart <br />Then whole day the mind is alert <br />To hold only Your Lord <br />Like a girl fallen in Love! <br /> <br />Yes… yes… mind is a hindrance <br />If it is fed by ego and ignorance <br /> <br />But mind is a powerful tool <br />Towards your salvation too! <br /> <br />You shall fall and fell people like Hitler or <br />You can a rise and help pupils like Buddha! <br /> <br />Yes… yes… mind is a hindrance <br />If it is fed by ego and ignorance <br /> <br />But mind is a powerful tool <br />Towards your salvation too! ...<br /><br />Raman Savithiri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/670-fall-or-rise-in-mind-100210/
