Mind Lost
Mind, Oh my mind! What have you lost that took away the peace of thy whole life!
Have
you now forgotten the path back to where you travelled down once? Oh! How would you return to that doorway, my mind?
I tune my ears to the river water,
my heart resonates to the rustle of leaves;
I know I'll find, if only I could understand the language of a flower!
The road which goes beyond the Morning Star!
- Song of Tagore
Infinite Life
There is suffering, there is
death, there is the burning pain of being apart!
Yet
there is peace, there is joy and there is eternity awake!
Life flows forever, the Sun
and Moon keep smiling;
Spring arrives in the
groves in all colors!
Waves disappear, Waves
arise
Flowers fall away, flowers bloom
The place
where nothing fades away, nothing dies and no lack at all exists
In that wholeness of thy feet, mind seeks refuge! - Song of Tagore
"The greatest achievement
is selflessness. The greatest worth is self-mastery. The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness. The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything. The greatest
action is nonconforming with the world's ways. The greatest action is transmuting the passions. The
greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is
humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that
lets go. The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances." - Atisha
