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.
