Mind is trapped in myriad actions, some slight and some deep emotions.
A part is entangled is guilt, a part in motivation, a part in regret, a part in greed for some lost lust, a part egotist, a part satisfied with success, a part crushed in shame and humiliation, a part yielding self-pity, a part of hateful contempt and an empty part of solace.
The mind works in deceitful ways. It sends some to temples and makes some break. It makes some altruistic and forces some to its own whim. It addicts some to intoxication and brings some home. It liberates souls and unifies bodies. It lends men their furred brow and women that unending supply of forgiveness in their bosom.
Mind is sometimes scared, and when it is showered the care, the attention and the protection it craves, mind seeks solace in the eyes of its savior.
Mind sometimes is blinded with lust, and when love comes down in violent torrents of passion, it seeks solace in passive submission to the lover.
When the body tires of the wind and the rain and the cold, or the hard lash of the workplace, the mind tires too. Just a cup of hot tea and a warm bed is where it finds its peace.
Mind plays its many acts, in its myriad skins It morphs from a snake's poisonous fang to a butterfly's colourful wing to the fish's useful fin, without provocation or measure. It stores and computes and pukes action, or alternatively inaction, as mind itself may please. It will christen a deed as beneficial or treacherous or naughty of hateful, but it will render the deed the recognition it deserves.
One might wonder about the only thing closest to mind- the concept of God. It makes one question what is God? And what is mind?
Is God a manifestation of mind? Or is mind the creation of God?
Or is it a completely incomprehensive entity from an unknown dimension?
Is mind God, or is God mind? Or is it the one and the same, possessing duality of nature, just as light does? Or is it interconvertible like mass and energy? Is there an Einstein who can give an equation to relation the two?
How long should the mind wander in pursuit of these answers? Is it the God's plan that mind should pursue God, using the mind's unique energy of thinking?
If it all comes to that, why does the mind run after material paraphernalia? To seek solace? Of the mind? To find it's God? By harnessing energy? To obtain material benefit?
