I have a rule of law for myself
I need no external aid for this regime of mine
Its strength lies in its vast assets
Built up over the years
Based on internal purity of the mind
Of body too as both are linked in many ways
Body oft taking orders from the mind .
Mind like the protecting angel to steer the body
Through eddies and whirlpools but always into the harbour
But at times mind fails to provide the signal
Gets bogged with conflicting thoughts
Like the ocean when churned by the Devas
and Asuras emanating poisonous fumes
Body in deep agony and forlorn
Delves deep into the inner recesses
And load thud, deep and sonorous in tone
Its source scarcely visible
Could it be the inner voice, the voice of
conscience,
Its message clear like the Commandments of yore,
All doubts get doused, all illusions vanish,
A new regime is launched, a new pathway, found,
Mind becomes the Conqueror, a Mahavira
Its enemies driven in all directions
While body becomes the Kingdom, where
Peace reigns eternal.
