Hay-Ku of the Day (A Peaceful Mind)

A Silent Mind has
No Bound, Open and Still
Its Self is Found.

Re: Sri Ramana 8/5/14 Twit:

"When the mind is examined, its activities cease automatically. This is the method of jnana. The pure mind is the Self. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

[Rich Note: This particular Hay-Ku, which was called to mind by the referenced Sri Ramana quote, is a "slightly adjusted" version of the last quatrain of the follow early '80s poem:

A SILENT MIND

"An Empty Mind
Is also Clear;
Without thought
There is no fear.

"A Quiet Mind
Lives in Peace;
Makes the most
Of even least.

"A Silent Mind
has No Bound,
Open and Still
Itself is found."

Circa 1982]
