The Trickster Mind

The trickster mind has many faces
Just like an illusionist or mime
In a circus or television show.

Some of his many faces are -
Boredom, restlessness, anger,
Lust, greed, attachment, and many more.

None of these faces (Illusions) are you.

What is you is the consciousness
That recognizes the faces
As illusions of the mind.

Once you know the game of the mind
You will never be tricked again
In believing these illusions are you.

Sant Kirpal Singh Ji has said.
"Mind is the agent of the negative power,
And it misses no opportunity to
Tempt man against God -
In daily life we slip at every step."

When you understand this concept
You will be well on your way to separating
You're real self from the mind.

And perhaps

Be on the path
To enlightenment.
