The tempter is waiting just around the corner
Just waiting to bring the pain
Sneaks in with subtle thoughts
Cheap shots to constrict the mind
Fumbling over all the mistakes
Raising the stakes of some long forgotten blunder
Makes me wonder why I lived as I did
Why do I always pin all these problems on an assumed static entity?
Riling up all these venomous emotions
It’s like these cyclical motions have crystallized in my mind
Each thought and action lined with a little darkness just waiting to creep in
This battle I can never win
Just have to let go watch the mind blow just let it all pass
Cant struggle with this detached observance or it’s just another fight
It’s tight going towards the light
The path is wide to destruction
Weaving through all this mental construction
Stilling the mind is a process of concentration
Accomplished through silent contemplation
Letting the seas of the roaring mind churn until dissipation
Any involvement makes you take part in the battle
I recite I am the valley not the river flowing through
One pointed concentration on this mantra of vibration
Cultivates this nervous system like water feeding the grass
All this duality will soon pass as silence grows
Clear light of the void making its presence known
All fear passing away
The perfect close to the day
Inching towards absolute peace outside the putrid distress
Each day less poison in the mind
Cultivating qualities of compassion
Eliminating all the desirous under-souls of passion
Slowing down exiting the stream of time
No more reason to whine
Just letting the light shine
Removing the film cloud by cloud
Plucking pride from the garden
So the ego can no longer harden
Finding the divine endowed
Keeping the ground plowed
Watering the seeds
Getting rid of the ego’s needs
Cutting them down like weeds
Shutting down the ego feeds
It doesn’t give up its corruption easy
It pleads and pleads
But the yells come from no inherently existing identity
Just passing forms in the flood of form
Manifesting divine
Till here the light will forever shine
Just waiting to bring the pain
Sneaks in with subtle thoughts
Cheap shots to constrict the mind
Fumbling over all the mistakes
Raising the stakes of some long forgotten blunder
Makes me wonder why I lived as I did
Why do I always pin all these problems on an assumed static entity?
