Workshop - Devil or Divine
P K Routray

Mind is a workshop,
Thoughts, devil or divine do hop,
Many methods do exist,
to control the mind as deemed fit
In falling apple the Idle mind of Newton
found his famous laws of gravitation,
Taylor was idling and gazing
at the manual excavation and loading,
in it he saw the famous theory of work measurement and method study,
and he became a father of scientific management turning from Taylor the lazy.
Poetic thoughts do emanate from idle mind,
but also the idle mind is a wicked monkey if not divined.
In fact idle mind is tamed to divinity by penance and austerity,
with empty thoughts a mind merges with infinity and eternity.
“Devilish workshop is idle mind, “an old maxim,
no longer valid, rather from empty mind peace and bliss are outcome.
It is up to the owner, the mentor,
to make or mar the mind as he is its author
