Tame the wld horse stallion of the racing mind,
Break him in with the reins of mantra japa,
'Whip with rigourous vigour' said Lord Krishna.
Such words in Sages writings we often find,
Blinker the colt so he doesn't look behind.
Mind control was taught by Sri Lord Ramana,
Essential part of his great teaching sadhana.
Mind will lead you astray like blind lead blind,
He'll gallop madly, so tie him down, and bind.
A gallant rider went on his pilgrim way,
The stubborn horse bolted and down he fell,
He knew he must train the nag that very day,
Or else riding him would always be sheer hell.
So we control the errant mind as best we may,
And enjoy a safe ride as with life we play.
