An inspired poem on meditation
In a mind full of desires, restless and torn,
Strife and chaos in its wake are born.
Choose your focus, a path to explore —
Breath, sensations, thoughts, feelings, or more;
A yantra, a mantra, a mandala’s grace,
A mudra, the void — find your sacred space.
As a neutral witness, let go of the fight,
Watch the mind empty, embracing the light.
Deconditioned, it transforms, a vessel divine,
Stay as a witness, in stillness, align.
Just watch and wonder, let the silence unfold,
In the quiet, the mysteries quietly told.
