Mental Health

Don't assume that

Somebody up there

Is going to reprieve us

And

Unravel all our difficulties

Learn that

We are dwelling

On a round realm

Whenever we look up

We are obviously peeking

At the wrong path

We should comprehend that

We are not here to

Bank on others

But at the coequal distance

We don’t amass to be

Autonomous of ourselves

The courage prolongs within us

The esoteric energy is nowhere

But within us

It is our conscience

That will take us

To the fruits of the world

We need to bestow

Averment to the truth that

We are not here to

Challenge others

But ourselves.

The conscience within us

Provides the ability

To elect

What is ‘right’

And

What is ‘wrong’

We repeatedly finish up

Picking the wrong alternatives

Rather than right

Only because

Right things are

Arduous to select

And

Bad things are

Equally merciful

We need to put

All our undertakings

To decide the right choice

Because

‘A choice’ is the foundation for the ‘success’ of anything.

A good choice

Will lead to good findings

And

The bad one

To the bad outcomes

But often

There’s a predicament

In deciding between the choices

Between all this hardship

We get miseries of anxiety,

Mental ailments and depression, unhappiness and the like.

We forget to relish

In our life

In the manner

We crave

Because

Every while

We reckon to turn on afresh

We get stuck

In between the two

possibilities

If this then what

If that then what.

It is always rambling

And

A mentally difficult task

The plight is that

We formulate our psyche

In such a way that

We influence our ‘inner-belief’

To go for the shorter path

We need to be able

To heed to our

Inner voice

In order to

Select the right things

This is indeed a tough task

Because

To be competent

Of listening to the inner voice

We need to

Believe in ourselves

But periodically

We realize the craving

To release ourselves

And this is the stage

No one wants to encounter.

We go to deities 

And offer prayers

To rescue us

We start shouting

In unison,

Mantras and prayers

And other spiritual beliefs

Captures our mind

So powerfully that

We start hurting

The feelings of ourselves

By not ‘believing in

ourselves’

What feel is that,

‘Whosoever’ is going to rescue us

Is existing within us.

The ultimate superiority

Inhabits within us

We are going to rescue ourselves

Avoid staring UP there

Because,

“Up there” is no one

But a belief that

We can do anything

And

We can quell everything

Until and unless

We believe in ourselves

No one in this world

Could deter us

From rescuing ourselves.

We have to develop

A belief within ourselves

That would be the world

We want to dwell in

We are the only one

To find the seeds

And celebrate the fruits.
