Empty Mind

Empty Mind
P K Routray
Never leave the mind vacant,
An empty mind is the devil's workshop at any instant.
All evil actions start in the vacant mind,
Let your mind get something positive, something worthwhile assigned.
Actively follow a hobby of your choice.
Do something that holds your interest to rejoice.
You must decide what you value more,
Is it peace of mind or pelf and power?
Your hobby may be social work or religious work or serving the needy,
Yes they may not always earn you more money, which we all agree.
But you will have a sense of fulfillment,
and will have satisfaction of achievement.
When you are resting physically,
occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name so that mind is engrossed fully.
