A W A R E N E S S Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

When you are aware
you are going to lose...
why worry?
when you are aware
you are going to win...
why overwhelm?
if the outcome is known
can it be reversed by worrying?
let us accept it calmly
your each second of worry
puts each body cell into stress
what is their fault
that they can't relax
your combat is with mind only....
spare your body
isolate the mind from your body
and for body's sake don't worry
let the body be relaxed
then it will cool your mind
That is the benefit of awareness.
