A Personal Index

BY: RAGHU MISHRA DAS

Apr 23, 2012 — CANADA (SUN) —

in
a
tone

of voice i will honour

mystery

and discover life i will
call

out

for

understanding as i am

learning
i

will

realize

how

there

is

a way to

go

i will remember

the
difference
one

has

in
mind

as

being

in

effect a qualified

endorsement
of

this

i will chant Hare Krsna in a

tone
of

voice

i

will

make sense i
will

not

fail in the

bargain

like
an

oddly simplified consciously impersonal bug a boo no

i
will dance and
sing
with an expression
on
my

face

like i am

in

a kirtan like
this

i

will

be of earnest interest to others i will not

be
a

very

impersonal person at all i will chant Hare Krsna
very

nicely

in
a

tone

of voice i
will

have

a

personal
index

i

will

have insight into the reality of the

pluralist

and

separatists

and will not be a bully i

will

not

lose

my marbles trying
to

be funny i will not be manned

by

moneyed lords like one hell
of

a

tool

of

the day this

day

of

days

i

will

not be made

to
sit

down

with

the
incalculable

madness

of number fool

one

functioning

as

basically as the illiterate delving into the phantasmagoria of
phantoms
silver

and

gold

big

as empty in the bag i will

not

be dead frustrated

with
that

metal

taste
in

my mouth like a stale
specter

licking

on

this

like

one licking the
outside

of

one

glistening

bottle
of

honey

you

don't
need

to
be too early

you

don't want to

be
too

late

meet the index

of

the
mind

face

to
face

fixed

up how is

your

personal index as one says

nothing

is

sacred

do
you

feel as one like i

can't

keep a secret sense free

will
nothing

one

says

what

is
free
is

nothing
sacred
one

says one can

see

right

through

me as one

one

can

tell
i

am

insecure
one
says and as

one
says

so

there

is
one displaying ignorance of free

will

and the innocent

are

secure sheltered in

confidence

naturally

they have a
confidential

perspective

in

relation to one and free

will

in this way
yes

they are sacred and you

chant
Hare Krsna with a tone

of

voice
that

is

respectful

to
them

so suddenly too
at
the lotus feet

of

Sri Krsna the mind is

sincerely
dedicated

to

self realization in

Krsna
consciousness at any

rate
here

is

the

back

seat to no

one

if

i
were

you

i

would

let it be in reality

the

inevitable like this
one

more time after

time
and
just

chant Hare Krsna

again

yes you can

mind

the
power

of the weak

to

act
as
the

lowest

common
denominator

and chant Hare Krsna very

nicely

as

purity
is

the

force

in reality the

inevitable

let

the

mind be if
you
chant Hare Krsna

yes
you
can

chant Hare Krsna very very nicely and

let
the
mind

be

if
you

chant
Hare Krsna in a tone of voice

let

the mind be

purified

with

an open heart

the

mirror will be
purified

if you chant Hare Krsna yes

if

one
does

chant this Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra

very

very

nicely

then the dust

from
the
attraction

of

others

to

perverted

ideas

of

one
will

be cleared off

if

on the mirror there are

heaps of dust accumulated one

sees

not

but

a dirty reflection of the face as

the

index

of

the mind so in a

conditional
way

overloaded

since
time

immemorial the heart is a

flutter

yes fluttering like

one

bird
of

a

feather

as
soon

as the mirror

is

clean
one

has a face to remember

a

real identifiable face

by
chanting Hare Krsna in a tone of

voice

one

has

been relieved of
the

misconception

and

dancing one is

the

one i know like this

is

all about being at home with a personal index

of
the
mind

that is the face i

remember
in

Krsna
consciousness

yes
so

suddenly

i

feel

like chanting Hare Krsna again and you

even

have
no

intention
of

waiting

it

out for me

or

anyone

else

you can remember

to

just
chant

Hare Krsna with

time

as you have
a

tone of voice

too

yes you most certainly can
chant

Hare Krsna with time on our side

we

can chant Hare Krsna and

both

have

a

personal

index

of

the

mind to express at the
lotus

feet
of

Sri Krsna Caitanya

like
this is loud

so

suddenly

yes
very

very

loud

and

interesting from the
perspective

of

one
being

purified

way over yonder

why

i would not be in

the
least

bit

surprised to hear of them

responding

way

over

the
moon

as

i

hear

you
yes loud and clear enough

to

wonder
how

loud can you

really

go

now
louder

the

others and i might as well wonder

i

wonder if i

can
go

louder

than this too
of

course but let us chant

at

any rate we sure can

chant

loud

by

the look of

it

i

remember
the very picture

of

loveliness Sri Pancha tattva chanting Hare Krsna

loud
with amazing tone
you
know
silky

smooth in the way they

looked

to make the

sound

flow as loud
as

can

be
without losing a

trace
