The Buddha-Mind Poem by Dr. Madan Gandhi

The buddha-mind
but a no-mind
a mind emptied of all thoughts
a transcendence of mind

A heart at peace
attained by watching inner turmoil
not escaping from it
confronting the inside chaos and commotion
contemplating its return in their total cessation

Each being separated from the source
yearns to return
to realize the source
where serenity spreads its velvety wings

Tide over the abyss of illusion and delusion
get at the place where you come from
dig within yourself for the elixir of life
to regain the youthful spirits

The dignity and majesty of a free man
immersed in the Light of Nirvana
a state of total wakefulness
to whom death like life is an occasion to celebrate.
(Yayati)
