The Atman lags behind

 

The Atman lags behind

As the mind races.

The gap keeps increasing,

Through lifetimes,

And lifetimes,

Sometimes the mind slows down,

When it is caught in Alzheimer's,

Or, when caught in the trembles

Of the Richter Scale,

And sits down to catch its breath,

Sits down to pray.


How many calamities

Will we need

Till the Atman catches up

With the mind?

The Atman is omnipresent, omniscient, indestructible. It is the mind that needs to slow down , and catch up with atman and experience its true reality . Not be running towards Moh, Maya, Kama and being carried away with materialistic possessions and wants . The Atman is not chasing . It is always there .

The Atman is like a pure uncut diamond hidden inside and is just observing the Lila going on. You are such a philosopher
