Mind Transformation
Meditation Spot 1 Comments »
This is a very nice poem that I think describes subtly and gently the transformation of the mind as a person evolves and learns from mistake in life.
As a leaking vessel never can fill
Waters of Life so pure and still
So distracted mind fails to retain
Wisdoms nectar in its brain
To fill waters from wisdoms 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 wisdoms ways are blind
To ease disease of random mind
A remedy suitable we must find
A rhythmic breathing tension free
Absorption as its 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 Wisdoms mystic fire is King!
Waters of Life so pure and still
So distracted mind fails to retain
Wisdoms nectar in its brain
To fill waters from wisdoms 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 wisdoms ways are blind
To ease disease of random mind
A remedy suitable we must find
A rhythmic breathing tension free
Absorption as its 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 Wisdoms mystic fire is King!
