Śiva-Sańkalpa-Gītikā (Song of Auspicious Resolve)
Extracted from Sanskrit
Kāvya ‘Mātŗigītikāñjalih’
(English Translation by the
Author Dr. Harekrishna Meher)

(Thinking power of subtle
and atomic mind is depicted
in this lyric with
philosophical perspective.
Mind should always be
optimistic for the well-being of the world.)

May
my mind be of auspicious resolve.
The
mind has undoubtedly the highest
and
swiftest speed in the world of
movable
and immovable beings. (0)
*
The
mind is of atomic form,
is
the cause of both good and bad deeds.
It
is self-proved and is the reminder
of
all in the moving world.
May
my mind that forms the great eternal flash
among
the luminaries be of auspicious resolve. (1)
*
Absorbed
in righteousness,
the
mind is the supreme divinity.
It
is permeated with hope.
It
forms no sand of pessimistic attitude.
May
the mind stand stone-like strong
at
the time of adversity
and
be of auspicious resolve. (2)
*
May
the intellect expand
for
conferring welfare of the world
and
never appear terrible
being
reflected in the mirror of face.
May
my mind fragrant with that intellect
form
a soft flowery couch
and
be of auspicious resolve. (3)
*
While
the mind is lucid,
whole
world appears pure and clear.
While
the mind is resplendent,
whole
world looks divine, beauteous and lighted.
The
mind that forms the charming temple
with
inaccessible architecture,
be
of auspicious resolve. (4)
*
In
the chariot of physical body,
where
Soul (Rathi) is seated,
may
the vigorous steeds of sense-organs
endowed
with the riches of abstinence
proceed
on the path illumined by the charioteer
in
the form of discriminative knowledge.
May
my mind that is subtle and unique rein,
be
of auspicious resolve. (5)
