Oh, dear mind,
are you not tired of
always thinking
of ‘me’, ‘mine’, and ‘I’?
Endless days,
endless nights,
you are cycling around
and around,
always coming to the same point
of satisfying
your own senses,
while disregarding the hearts of others!
Always coming to the same point,
of deriving pleasure
from being cynical and envious
of others!
Always coming to the same point,
of cheating yourself
with the latest distractions!
Throw away these mindless patterns,
abandon all useless matters,
and simply grab hold of the
lotus feet of all saintly teachers!
Cry, shout, and beg for their mercy,
as they can ignite the fire,
that will start a revolution
within your heart
and there will be no trace of any
mindless chatter!
Their mercy will indeed
bring you to your Friend Divine,
Who will allow for your heart to expand!
Then, the mind will be quiet and
the heart will speak!
It will expand beyond your kin, nation, and land,
even beyond your precious life!
Your heart will expand to all creatures that fly,
to all that swim,
and to all that walk and run!
Ultimately, the heart will know no bound,
while jumping, dancing, and singing for your Dear Friend Divine!
Oh, Dear Friend Divine,
simply help us overcome
our conditioned minds,
so, that our hearts can expand,
beyond the conceptions of ‘I’ and ‘mine’!
