The Inscrutable Essence of Mind

By Shaivi Dabadi

What is mind? We all ask 
An entity which tries to understand and shape everything 
This mysterious weird enigma controls emotions and what
not, well this is its task 
Without mind we surely are nothing.

Our mind, which should have been a stepping stone to divine 
Instead the way we feed it, has become a ladder to utter hell
Controlling it is an important trick for the ultimate design
Train your mind and you shall compel and dwell.

Mind, is it a misery- manufacturing machine? 
Or is it an apparatus which creates the most amazing possibility of life?
A tool which makes the neurons dance in the brain and makes it supreme
We are feeding chaos and harming our prime life. 

Is mind truly a field,
Which enjoys the world through its six senses 
With its emotions and thoughts being revealed 
If you make your mind work too much you should be ready to face the consequences.

Now, we ask again, what truly is mind? 
Is it the sea which is wild with storm full of thoughts?
Or is it the lighted streams which makes us blind?
Well, we all know one thing, that the mind holds secrets which are never caught.
