wisdom’s eye

This mind
This very mind
that you have identified with
as you
as yours
on what course is it manoeuvring?

Step back, step back
Be aware of its movement
be with it objectively
look at it impersonally
and you will soon notice
on what direction it takes

right here, right at this moment
forging ahead
with greed?
with aversion?
with love?
or magnanimity?

how can you not know
unless you are too busy for it
how can you ignore
unless you never care the less
how can you not realize
unless you never stood from this standpoint

until you wake up to your mind
you are unaware
its direction that it is charting
often than not
to your disadvantage longterm
though now, seemingly innocent

believe me not
neither believe who you are
look at your mind directly
unbiasedly, honestly
and you will find swarms of happenings
you never knew before

rolling out this moment
taking place is what “you” are
of engineered experiences
from mind’s formation
of vexation unnoticed
leading the way to sorrow

be mindful, be wary
of mind’s trick
projecting outward
infesting inward
only to be finally understood
by Wisdom’s Eye.

only then
rest truly exist
a new kind of happiness born
understanding a norm of life
ease a natural state
and compassion, a gifted sight.
