THE MIND AS MONKEY
The Monkey called Mind
Loafs along the streams and jungles,
And swings from branch to branch.
So, what is the use of running after it?
This is the time for us
To seek the timeless state of Love
To obtain the Grace of the Supreme Light
That makes the Cosmic Dance.
The Beyond
Is the cause and ground
Of the one and the many
And the Life of Life.
Hence, O men of the world!
Come and join!
–TAYUMANAVAR
