THE HOUSE OF THOUGHTS

The mind is a dark

and dingy room

full of bright thoughts.

These thoughts thus

prop these walls

of the room

so full

of thoughts.

If you can

empty the room

of all these thoughts

then the walls

lose their props

and fall to show

the beauty

of the inner world,

which doth glow;

the ultimate reality.

The supreme

True consciousness

then unfolds

to reveal no vanity

which causes insanity

and showers bliss;

my true happiness.

Inspired by the words of Shri Ramana Maharishi which I came across at a young age,

"The mind is a bundle of thoughts

stop thinking and show me then

where is the mind"

These words set me on a path that has provided me great happiness.
