427 To laugh or lament
I deeply
Thought about it
I often asked
So many questions
I try to

‘Enough is enough’
And it says that
There is nothing new (in all these activities)
Mind seeks a kind of bliss
In silence
And it also
Prompts me to keep quiet
Once I experienced
The bliss of silence
The mind refuses
To wake up again
I don’t know
Why this struggle
When the deliverance will come
I don’t know
When there is struggle between
Heart and buddhi (intellect)
I don’t know whether to
Laugh or weep
