The Fool Thinks – Poem by Ashtavakra

The Fool Thinks – Poem by Ashtavakra

The fool thinks peace comes 
by controlling the mind. 
He will never attain it. 

The wise one knows Truth, 
and is stillness itself. 

The fool tries to control the mind 
with the mind—what folly! 

The wise one delights in Self alone. 

There is no mind to master. 

~ Ashtavakra
