The man who controls his mind,
Is more able to help others,
It helps us realise we are all one,
All a band of brothers;
To do this requires discipline,
Of a pure and moral kind,
By prayer and meditation,
We're able to control the mind.
“For the man who has conquered it, the mind becomes his greatest friend. For the one who has failed to conquer it, the mind becomes his worst enemy." BHAGAVAD GITA.
God, guide me today,
In all I say or do,
Let me pass on your love to others,
All this lovely day through;
Let my words be loving,
And my actions too,
And may my mind continuously,
Think of lovely You.
“Concentration and meditation without purity is of no use." SIVANANDA.
Prayer. prayer, prayer,
Helps remove every care,
Nothing is so beneficial,
Of that be aware;
Have a little mantra,
A lovely God given phrase,
To help calm your mind,
And take life at your ease.
"In all your actions, in all your words, in all your thoughts and feelings, be filled with enthusiasm and sing God's glory." SWAMI CHIDVILASANANDA.
My head was often in turmoil,
But it still took an age,
Before I asked God for help,
Despair gave me the courage;
But it was all necessary,
For me to conceed,
That I couldn't do life on my own,
Pain opened a spiritual seed.
