RULE OF LAW-MY SPIRITUAL QUEST

RULE  OF  LAW-MY SPIRITUAL QUEST

I have a rule of law for myself

I need no external aid for this regime of mine

Its strength lies in its vast assets

Built up over the years

Based on internal purity of the mind

Of body too as both are linked in many ways

Body oft taking orders from the mind

Mind like the protecting angel to steer the body

Through eddies and whirlpools but always into the harbour

But at times mind fails to provide the signal

Gets bogged with conflicting thoughts

Like the ocean when churned by the ‘Devas’ and ‘Asuras’

Emnating poisonous fumes

Body in deep agony and forlorn

Dvelves deep into the inner recesses

And lo! a thud, deep and sonorous in tone

Its source scarcely visible

Could it be the inner voice, the voice of conscience,

Its message clear like the Commandments of yore,

All doubts get doused, all illusions vanish,

A new regime is launched, a new pathway found,

Mind becomes the Conqueror, a ‘Mahavira’,

Its enemies driven in all directions

While body becomes the Kingdom, where Peace reigns ever.
