Unstable Mind
When people accuse me
Of being a man of unstable mind,
I do not get offended—
I do not mind!
My mind Is constantly
Growing, developing,
Evolving, changing…
Why should I
Stand by everything
I said yesterday?
What I said yesterday
Was true of yesterday
But, why should it remain
The same today?
Everything changes with time—
Situations change, Knowledge increases,
Perceptions get overhauled,
The mind gets transformed!
Change is an ongoing process of life—
It is a Process of evolution!
If I do not change, I do not evolve!
Should I surrender myself to stagnation
Just to hear that I have
A stable mind?
I was honest yesterday
I am honest to myself today—
I have not hypothecated my integrity
To anyone, or, anything…
If my intentions are right…
If I have no hidden agenda…
If I change my mind
To accommodate an evolved thought,
What is wrong with that?
I am comfortable with myself!
I am absolutely at peace with myself!
It does not bother me
If people think of me
As someone
With an unstable mind!
