DISINTEREST, THE SAVIOUR OF THE MIND

There is always something to check up on

Surfing all day long, social media, all the facilities where the world went so wrong

Filling the mind with so much dross

As though missing out would cause any loss

And everyone talks about the wonders of technology

If you're bound by it, give your mind an apology

For it's the same mind that needs and craves stability

When things go wrong suddenly

Mind is in bondage to all its interests

Attached to facilities, the mind has no rest

The yogi checks out from all that he invests

Bringing the mind's energy to a source point is his main interest

All that entertainment that keeps the mind busy

Left him tired and very dizzy

It is the soul after all that is the generator of all mental energy

That left his mind exhausted and full of lethargy

He has disinterest all around

His mind goes quiet, beyond the pull of sound

And though he does everything he needs to do

But doesn't do all the mind wants to do

He's creating stillness and stability while the world is in chaos

His vibrations reach the world that's filled with superficial gloss

The mind, such a potent sublime, wondrous force

Without disinterest it has no source

Interest generated in far higher things

Will give natural happiness back its wings

All these facilities have their place

But should never invade your inner space

For your inner space is the place you grace

Should not be filled with all that worldly waste

We live in this world of so much nonsense

And wonder why we easily take offence

The secret to it all is what your mind is interested in

The result will be stability or instability within

We've been living in the altered ego far too long

Where irritation reigns and something's always wrong

Moved away from our own true self

The original pure pride of the powerful self

Where all our mental energies were easily kept under our control

When the mind was obedient and did what it is told

The yogi invests only in self realisation

He looks at himself for freedom from any irritation
