Tame the wild horse stallion of the racing mind,
Break him in with the strong rein of mantra japa,
'Whip him with rigourous vigour' said Lord Krishna.
Such words in Great Sages writings we often find,
Blinker the mad colt so he'll never look behind.
Mind control was taught by Bhagavan Ramana,
Essential part of his great teaching sadhana.
Mind will lead you astray like the blind lead the blind,
He'll gallop off madly, so tie him down and bind.
A gallant rider journeyed on his pilgrim way,
The rebelious horse bolted and down he fell,
He knew he must train the bad nag that very day,
Or else riding him would become the sheerest hell.
So we control the errant mind as best we may,
And enjoy a safe ride while in life's dream we play.
