Yoga 8 - Buddhi - The Greatest Gift Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Yoga 8 - Buddhi - The Greatest Gift

Rating: 5.0


Buddhi can decide to pick,
The soft white pebbles
Over the hardened rocks;
To feel the satin touch of the rose petals
Over the stem with sharp thorns;
And to step serenely on the soft green grass!

Buddhi is wisdom,
God's greatest gift to mankind!
The ground of all intellectual processes,
The ground of comprehensive handling,
The ground of effort and will power,
To discern with care and precaution!

Buddhi - the intellect - to gain wisdom,
A reflection on true self!
Buddhi - to forcefully command
The mind and the sense organs,
To remain calm and undisturbed
By the glittering world of tempting objects!

Buddhi unlocks the many splendoured realms of the mind,
The great principle proudly standing beside
The Pure Consciousness reflected by its divine light!
Buddhi can choose to become a super power.
Directing the mind to obey its orders,
Guiding the senses to remain calm and tranquil!

Buddhi is the greatest gift given to man by. Buddhi has to be treated with care and much appreciation as it is the main flow of many splendoured realms of mind. Thank you Dr Dillip for your generous comment.
