Your Mind - Your Soil

It’s all about the mind, my dear -

That’s where suffering takes root

And that’s where pain is born

And that’s also where salvation blooms.

It’s all about the mind, dear one -

Where the seeds of suffering were sown

And unknown to you, though it’s your mind

That’s where the suffering has slowly grown.

It’s all about the mind, dear one -

Where your pain was watered and fed.

You had no idea how it kept growing

And how you even took it to bed.

It’s all about the mind, dear one -

That’s where you can grow joy and bliss;

You have a toolbox filled with things

That can help you easily accomplish this.

Learn to tend your mind with loving care

Like a gardener tends his garden -

You need to become its gardener and

You need to become its vigilant warden.

Your mind is a fertile land with soil

That can give a harvest of abundant grain;

Why then do you settle for suffering,

Why do you drown yourself in pain?
