Verses to the Mind

By Samarth RAMDAS

*****

Oh Dear Mind, keep a quiet presence in the midst of people.

Tell the story of Ram respectfully, remembering « I am He ».

Leave the place where there is no devotion to Him;

To be happy, go to a quiet place and be with Him.

By the company of the worldly people you loose your peace of Mind,

And your ego unexpectedly takes root.

Who would like to be with such people,

In whose company intellect forget Ram, the Self?

Oh mind, whatever moment has past without Ram,

Has been wasted in the company of the world.

Whatever we do without Ram is sheer exhaustion.

The one who is attentive focuses and perceive Him only.

He alone see the Lord in his mind and with his eyes;

He is realized among people, yet he remain a devotee.

Lovingly performing his practice as taught by his master.

He is blessed in the world, a devotee of the Best: The Reality.

The one who uses his body for the Lord’s cause,

Speaks Ram’s name and remembers Him always.

He takes the best path, which is to remain in the Self.

He is blessed in the world, a devotee of the Best.

He always act according to his word.

He always sees the Only God in all diverse forms.

Though he worships with attributes, no trace of illusion touches Him.

He is blessed in the world, a devotee of the Best.

There are no sickening desires in his mind.

He has no attachments and no aversion, this seeker of the Self.

His heart is at peace, without a trace of the darkness of ignorance.

He is blessed in the world, a devotee of the Best.

The one who has given up pride, envy and selfishness,

Is not touched by the troubles of the worldly life.

He speak softly, and his words are clear;

He is blessed in the world, a devotee of the Best.

The one who use his time pondering the great Truth,

Never wastes time with conceited arguments and debates.

He experiences the joy of contemplating the Source.

He is blessed in the world, a devotee of the Best.

The one who is always sincere and loved by all,

Always use discrimination and speaks of the Truth.

He’s speech certainly never supports the false.

He is blessed in the world, a devotee of the Best.

Always taking shelter in the forest during his youth,

He is never involved in the confusion of imagining.

He holds a firm resolve in his mind and does not waver.

He is blessed in the world, a devotee of the Best.

Destructive hope and desires are not in the mind of one

Who’s heart is bound by love and « thirst »for the Self.

His deep devotion has put the Lord himself into his debt.

He is blessed in the world, a devotee of the Best.
