BEGUILING MIND 

The beguiling mind is a beehive,

It entraps life, wise survives,

The mind is blind ruler, body obeys,

Limbs act to wishes life misses,

Ever mind is clean, pure, divine,

The essence of the illusive realm decline,

Tame a beguiling mind, is a mirage,

Patience, practice is lifelong courage,

Bondage of life is in birth and death,

Liberation is guarded by mind in-depth,

Mind beguiled divine, after golden deer,

Wife got kidnapped, beguiled by fake seer,

A king’s life in truth mind was in service,

The weakest moment mind beguiled for dice,

King lost his kingdom and his wife,

Eon messages of lives in ruin clear,

Mind ruins human life beguiling steer,

A power can travel in the realm in no time,

The mind finds itself to imagine fine,

Can penetrate the wall, rise on hill,

Can dive depth of the ocean, dreams to kill,

Beguiling mind deceit spirit as ego,

The mind has charms of temptation, desire,

Greed, anger, lust, hatred, evil inspires,

A captured thought as clouds cover,

Soul and conscience feel insecure,

Life ignores wisdom inner dictates,

Humanity serves minds, it indicates,

Love, compassion, care, sharing in life,

Mind in selfish urge, it acts as a knife,

 

In modern time, men are wise pretends well,

Genuine, decent, honest mask mind dwells,

Dice survives till modern addicts swarm,

Lottery, chit fund, share, few pockets warm,

All are slaves of the mind allure overnight rich,

A time come soul ruins beguiling ditch,

Never humanity learn from beggar,

Often a slave of the mind loses cry in hunger,

Mind beguiling fox human to drink or drug,

Keep a slave in hallucination, a wooden log,

The selfish bent of mind children quit parent,

Shelter home, peddler old rot decent,

Fair prices, discount, prizes beguile cool,

Teen young, old get trapped like a fool,

A slave of mind rise in power leads,

A cruel fate for people beguiling bleeds,

 

Nature beguile creatures to trap n kill,

A flower traps insects, scents to thrill,

A musk deer seeks fragrance in the forest,

The scent of musk beguiles, in its head, rest,

Flies beguiled by light jump to fire,

Traps for rat, animals hunger desire,

Man sets a trap to catch rat a puzzle,

Tries to catch beguiling mind, fizzles,

Soul n mind both live in self in life,

The soul is deathless, mind perishes right,

Soul whispers through conscience pure,

Beguiling mind intoxicate heart, allures,

Self ceases credence acts as sick, no cure,

Detox beguiling mind fails by vain procedure,

Cleanse in sacred water, pure, divine nature,

Bathing in the Ganga, worshiping idol,

The same mind smiles within soul in torture,

The only way to serve needy selfless n share,

Live life simple in love and heart to care,

Love silence, solitude, focus consciousness,

Detach from desires, practice faithfulness,

Surrender every action in mind to divine,

A lifetime purifies the mind simple serene,

Beguiling mind obstructs thousandfold,

Inner trust in the creator holds the fort,

Mortal frame bleeds writhes in pain,

Entrapment of mind, effort in vain,

Enslaved to conscience, mind transforms,

The secret of realm beguiles own reform.
