RIVER and MIND

The mind is supposed to be like the river.

As how the water remain so calm on the surface although the unseen is the current flowing below it,

Just like the mind.

 

The mind is supposed to be like the river,

As it passes through every stream and then letting it go as the water flows on,

Just like the mind.

 

The mind is supposed to be like the river,

Allowing the mud and sand to settle down so that it remains clear,

Just like the mind.

 

In any ways the river is not doing it,

When the water hit and splash by a strong uncontrolled current taking away its calmness,

When it is clogged or blocked thus not flowing,

When the mud is stirred up making the water cloudy,

The flow will be disrupted,

It is not a real river anymore,

Just like the mind.

 

I can be what type of river I want,

The calm or the disrupted one,

I can be what type of mind I want,

The peaceful or the disturbing one.

May all be cultivating the peaceful mind!

May all be well and happy!
