To Reason With Thee, O Mind
Logic, nor reason thou hast thy own,
No use O mind with thee to reason.
Silent, when I seek an opinion,
Or lion-like roar for no reason.
One moment whilst ye hit a bull’s eye,
Very next, thy reason is undone.
Get melted to naught in deep silence,
O what use to thee words of reason?
Ye often rain nectar from heaven,
Or venom rages for no reason.

Poet’s note: As to atman, Bhagavad-Gita says: Thou art thy friend and foe at the same time. The same can well be said about one’s mind.
