46 Cittanubhava (Mind-Power)-

Cittanubhava (Mind-Power)

Buddhadasa Bhikkhu

Genuine mind-power is the highest thing &
Helps bring mind-liberation even higher.
If abused It drags us down into the pits,
Even a peacock can end up just a crow.

Confidently train and collect the mind’s strength,
Steadily stabilizing it through the path,
Correctly fulfilling wishes & entering the course
Of Dhamma, unwaveringly on target for Nibbana.

Each day, if applied in ordinary work & duties,
It integrates the higher mental training and
Together with the good fruitions of your work
All aspects of Dhamma are practiced right in you.
