The Positive Rainbow
It Listens to worldly matters
It walks and stays everywhere
It views Black and White
It is like an unending Mystery
It has three forms
It hurts and loves
It has bad and good effects

The Mind is a Rascal, it makes me fear
It robs my Bliss, it robs my Cheer
It makes me think, it is the King
But in fact, it causes my suffering
The only problem with my Mind
Where is my Mind? I cannot find!
I have a Body, my Body I can see
But where is this Mind and Ego, that says 'me'?
It binds me with the myth, doesn't let me be free

The soul must know something
that the mind
can’t comprehend
That’s what they said when
they watched him
from afar
He slept under the bridge
at night

“The clouds tell us stories,” Baba would say to him
As they sauntered through sunflowers fluttering in the wind
And he’d tilt his little head up and open his eyes wide
To the maestoso of the clouds, and the stories they held within
They spoke to him, and recited tales
Of dragons and giants and fairies and nymphs
Of Achilles and his gold and of Shiva and his bravery
And things were as smooth as the pallu of Ma’s new silk saree until
He started responding only to the misty blobs of ice up in the sky.

Something natural
Something true
yet invisible
That’s not you
You were made wonderful but from the dust
You grow weak and your body whither
Yet one thing never dies, it’s only part of you
It yearns for goodness

Illusions great and small
Can have an impact on us all
Trickery of the mind
Can leave us confused and blind
The world we see is not always true
Our perceptions can be askew
Mirages on a desert plain
Or a magician's clever game

Are you looking for a life of Peace and Happiness?
Are you looking for a way to Tranquillity and Bliss?
If you just flip your life over from NEP to PEP
You can be sure to achieve this
Who doesn't have sorrow, who doesn't have stress?
Is there anyone who is free from unhappiness?
Anybody born in this world with Ego and Mind
Fear, worry and anger in life, they are sure to find

I was so stupid, I was a fool
But they didn't teach me this in school
'Stop it, stupid!' had I told myself
My stupidity would have ended with this tool
We all get angry, we all do fear
We are idiots, year after year
How can we stop this misery and pain
How to stop being foolish, again and again
