Dive into the dark depths Of the unfathomable sea Of the baffling human mind: Explore the concealed layers From its surface, ever active and restless: Slowly sink into the sub-conscious And the more powerful unconscious mind That regulates vital functions ceaselessly, Remaining silent and invisible, all the while. Move deeper until you reach the source Of life's perennial spring, Flowing from your innermost being Into the boundless Universe, ever expanding, Beyond the confines of the sensuous mind. When this inward journey, spiritual, Brings insight into the subtle working Of the hidden mind, you emerge wiser And stronger than ever before To weather the storms of life, ephemeral, And realize man's fervent prayer - "Lead us from Darkness to Light" - "Thamasoma jyothirgamaya" The ultimate aim of all mankind. ** M.G.Narasimha Murthy, Hyderabad, India.
* In order to achieve this, one should strive to discipline one's body, mind and intellect and attain tranquility and poise. All religions suggest practical methods. In Indian philosophy, Patanjali's "Ashtaanga Yoga" is very well known.
