Thought of the day

Tamas cajoles us to stick with routine,
whilst Rajas as the cauldron of desire,
seeks attainments which are as yet unseen
and so we oscillate until we tire;
then Satva gentles our heart’s raging fire.
The gunas three twirl our ego around,
though the light of our Self is never bound.
