Mind Poems
Benevolent
by Nicole Minnick
Benevolent soul
Taking my hand and leading me far away, speaking to me without words.
Benevolent love
Showing me the path that’s worth taking, being near while the rest pushed me away
Benevolent heart

Flip over from Mind to Consciousness
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
Are you looking for a life of Peace and Happiness?
Are you looking for a way to Tranquillity and Bliss?
If you just flip your life over from NEP to PEP
You can be sure to achieve this
Who doesn't have sorrow, who doesn't have stress?
Is there anyone who is free from unhappiness?
Anybody born in this world with Ego and Mind
Fear, worry and anger in life, they are sure to find

Enlightened Ego
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
We all have an Ego, it is there in our head
It will go along with us till we are dead
It is the one that, 'I', 'me' and 'mine', has always said
It is the Ego that causes anger, the Ego that causes hate
It brings in agony, pushes peace out of the gate
Alas! We suffer through life with it and it’s too late!
The Ego has a best friend, It is our rascal Mind
The Mind fools us to believe that the Ego is 'I', we find

The clouds tell us stories
by Violet's Musings
“The clouds tell us stories,” Baba would say to him
As they sauntered through sunflowers fluttering in the wind
And he’d tilt his little head up and open his eyes wide
To the maestoso of the clouds, and the stories they held within
They spoke to him, and recited tales
Of dragons and giants and fairies and nymphs
Of Achilles and his gold and of Shiva and his bravery
And things were as smooth as the pallu of Ma’s new silk saree until
He started responding only to the misty blobs of ice up in the sky.

Stop it Stupid
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
I was so stupid, I was a fool
But they didn't teach me this in school
'Stop it, stupid!' had I told myself
My stupidity would have ended with this tool
We all get angry, we all do fear
We are idiots, year after year
How can we stop this misery and pain
How to stop being foolish, again and again

From Yoga to Moksha
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
Are you in search of Happiness?
Do you want that state of Eternal Bliss? Then, begin the Journey from Yoga to Moksha
And you are sure to achieve this!
Who am I and why am I here?
Have you pondered this, are you clear?
We just live and cry and die
We don't discover the Truth, we don't live with cheer!
We listen to many, the right path we don't choose

Forgotten Verse
by J. P. Ehlert
There is a verse I forgot to write.
It lingers in my mind.
Like a song unsung or bell unrung it waits—
Waits for my pen to give it life.
Sometimes without purpose
by Karan Shah
Sometimes without purpose
Suppose on the surface
My mind looks like a circus
Inside the golden tent
There is a silence so nervous
My mind floats through space
by Karan Shah
My mind floats through space
Surrounded by its eternal darkness
My impulses like gamma rays
Penetrate the atmosphere of my subconscious
Relatively, I gravitate towards the good days
and sometimes memories that make me nauseous
But the only Constance
Is that time keeps my mind
Afloat past every single instance
At the speed of light
