Poem
Wake-up 'O' friend... ! Wake up 'O' friend, wake right-up from thy stupor, Wake yourself up now, from the mind and senses induced torpor! Wake-in to the awakening that longs to see light, Wake in to the 'Self' with true Will, 'your true right'! The first step to it is, to be up before the Sun, Spend a while within, before you get on your feet to run! While you are within - the most precious time to treasure, Time slows down and eases you of all self-induced pressure. Catch a glimpse of 'You', if you succeed and relate; Realise those controls in 'you', there is nothing else known as fate. The deluded mind seems intent, to reign one into its tethers; Take them into your folds, and negate those frills and fetters. Be aware of every breathe, along with it - your daily chores; Pointed focus on one at a time, 'Clutters' - meditative state abhors! Be wary of the urge to stray with a resolve that is firm, In time, you see them subside, with scattered thoughts that squirm! Structure the outside of you and streamline the day; Make sure to ride over self-will, practice selflessness - the 'Wise' say. Put others' happiness and comfort ahead of thine and revel; Swap anger with love and feel the warmth in contentment that swell ! The body to be gently coaxed to cooperate with one's attempt ; If not brought in order, it will hold all your endeavours in contempt ! Stop at nothing and don't give-in to the lure of fallacies abound ; Be with peers who are also Seers, to help you if you hit aground. Be warned and cautioned of tyrant inside - 'the in-dwelling ego' ; Only way to get rid of it is to surrender with-in, then let-go and forgo ! It is a harmonious quest to align the Soul with body and the mind ; To realise and release thy 'Self' from this mundane 'worldly grind'.
