Lving In Watchfulness

Before a thought goes for a walk, stop it Before a little desire goes to meet a thought, stop it Before fear goes to visit a thought, stop it Before want is given to a thought, stop it Before hate is gone to a thought, stop it If you think you’re great, stop it If you think you’re humble, stop it Good or bad, just stop it Stop giving food or drink to those horrible enemies inside your head, please stop it Every time one of them takes to flight It comes back with a fleet! So stop it You came first and without them, then from doors and windows they came in, took control, they are living and you are asleep Wake up! Wake up! Don’t let them in any more! Stop it For god’s sake stop it… Who are you without them? Do you want to find out…? Om! “Om Mani Padme Hum” Behold the jewel in the lotus Do you really want to know who you are? Ask love And when love brings you an answer Listen to it Michael
