Senses, vibrant and restless, Drive into the depths Of human consciousness, Myriads of subtle impressions And kaleidoscopic images, While memory, ever alert and mercurial, Recalls every relevant experience For guidance in changing situations, Giving rise to thoughts and impulses That result in action and reaction. To keep the mind well balanced In life's daily toil and turmoil, Intellect strives to harmonize Conflicting thoughts and emotions, Focussing them on a single aim, To still the mind and bring calmness To unravel the mystery of existence And sages call this meditation. *** M.G.Narasimha Murthy, Hyderabad, India. mgnmurthy4@gmail.com
