Acting Mindfully, Living Blissfully

“As we go through our daily lives, our mind governs our every action and speech. Just like how we feel time passes slower when we’re bored, if we fill our minds with negative thoughts, suffering shall follow. Alternatively, if we fill our minds with good thoughts, we can see the good in anything. Therefore, we need to train our minds to be aware of the present moment, to stay objective regardless of when we’re angry, sad or happy. By being mindful, we prevent ourselves from being fooled by our minds.”

Lyrics
Mindful us or mind fools us
Monkey mind is not that obvious
When our minds run like a circus
So mind fools us or mindful us
Not being mindful at the moment
We are missing bits of life called the present
A father in a hurry
Having breakfast with his son
When he spilt the coffee on him
The father furious scolded him
Son went school sadly
Father went to work madly
Mother felt bad really
That was what happened to them lately
Mindful us or mind fools us
Mindfulness gives rise to clarity
Peace, wisdom and certainty
So mind fools us or mindful us
Mindfulness should be the focus
Let’s come cultivate it’s truly precious
[Guitar Solo]
Appamado amatapadam
Pamado maccuno padam
Appamatta na miyanti
Ye pamatta yatha mata
Mindful us or mind fools us
Monkey mind is not that obvious
When our minds run like a circus
So mind fools us or mindful us
Not being mindful at the moment
We are missing bits of life
So mindful us or mind fools us
Mindfulness gives rise to clarity
Peace, wisdom and certainty
So mind fools us or mindful us
Mindfulness should be the focus
Let’s come cultivate it’s truly precious
