Your mind always craves to be at rest.

But to keep it in control and not let loose is a difficult test.

Restlessness happens when expectation does not meet reality.

This difference does not help you in progressing with a positive mentality.

The Perplexing thought snatches away your night's sleep

& you realize this problem is no longer shallow and has gone very deep.

You lose your ability to appreciate anything around.

Bad feeling keeps hovering inside to give obnoxious sound.

There are myriad situations where mind find difficult to adjust.

Things get tossed up and down which makes you lose all your trust.

Go for walk, do meditation, take a deep breath is all being asked to do.

This restless battle must end between your mind and you.

There is certain bliss you can experience when your mind is calm and composed.

With ravaging thoughts going out; you feel silence is being imposed.

Greatness lies in controlling the situation despite mind's turmoil.

More silence will prevail if we keep our temper in check without any further boil.
