We're Not For We Think Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

We sure are what we're, for, we think,
Mind said, parroting a thought pink.
But a voice said, body,
Mind, nor talent man be;
A lady wearing mink as is no mink.
Thoughts make man no more than aware,
Nor body nor yet mind death spares;
We're we because we are conscious,
The Self is what makes us,
The rest are only parts and spares.
We are not for, we think,
Much as books are not just ink.

And yet, when a Greek philosopher said, ‘we are for we think', he was not wrong. Mind plays multiple roles mind is manas (mind) , mind is aham (ego) , mind is buddhi (intellect) , mind is chitta (awareness) , and mind could also be the soul or spirit, depending on the role it plays.
