MIND

Budhaditya Basu,
PhD Student

Mind by nature Mind mirrors mind;
free as ever, knows no bound. truly, one of a kind.
Never seems to stop
rarely quiet and often loud. Only a fool says,
‘Listen to your mind’.
Is the time manifested in mind? It’s a deceiving show
Is the mind temporal? put on to mankind.
Tell me what is the truth Close your eyes and ‘see’
and what is empirical. the chaos and anarchy.
Learn whom to glorify and
Phenomenal! Isn’t it? what is vanity.
No physical existence, no definition;
yet it exists and responds Inspired by the book INCOGNITO written by David
to minds in connection. Eagleman

O creation!
Bewildered am I.
Is the mind ‘me’?
Does that make ‘me’ cry?

Who are we, who can we be?
We choose neither of them.
Mind is a product of
microscopic history - ‘unfathomable’.

Do we have ‘free’ will?
What does your mind say?
It’s biologically predisposed
the way we act and weigh.

Mind thinks
Being enslaved by mind;
like larvae weaving a cocoon
and shouting, ‘I am bound’.

Mind thinks
to have mastery over mind.
