धीरे धीरे मोड़ तू इस मन को
इस मन को तू
इस मन को
मन मोड़ा फिर डर नहीं
कोई दूर प्रभु का घर नहीं
धीरे धीरे मोड़ तू इस मन को
इस मन को तू
इस मन को
मन लोभी, मन कपटी, मन है चोर
कहते आए यहाँ पल पल में ओर
कुछ जान ले कुछ मान ले
हो ना है विचलित नहीं
कोई दूर प्रभु का घर नहीं
धीरे धीरे मोड़ तू इस मन को
इस मन को तू
इस मन को
जप तप तीर्थ – सब होते बेकार
जब तक मन में रहते भरे विकार
बेईमान क्यों, नादान क्यों
गफलत ऐसे कर नहीं
कोई दूर प्रभु का घर नहीं
धीरे धीरे मोड़ तू इस मन को
इस मन को तू
इस मन को
धीरे धीरे मोड़ तू इस मन को
इस मन को तू
इस मन को
जीत लिया मन फिर ईश्वर नहीं दूर
जान बूझ कर इंसाँ क्यूँ मजबूर
अभ्यास से, वैराग्य से
कुछ भी है दुष्कर नहीं
कोई दूर प्रभु का घर नहीं
धीरे धीरे मोड़ तू इस मन को
इस मन को तू
इस मन को
धीरे धीरे मोड़ तू इस मन को
इस मन को तू
इस मन को
Tune: Dheere Dheere Bol Koi Sun Na Le

So slowly, so gently, just turn your own mind,
This wandering mind,
This untethered mind.
If the mind has been turned, then you don’t need to fear,
The home of the Lord is now wonderfully near.
So slowly, so gently, just turn your own mind,
This wandering mind,
This untethered mind.
The mind can be greedy, deceitful, a thief,
It changes its story, as brief as a leaf.
Just know this and own this, and you will be fine,
Don’t let your soul stray from the sacred design.
If the mind has been turned, then you don’t need to fear,
The home of the Lord is now wonderfully near.
So slowly, so gently, just turn your own mind,
This wandering mind,
This untethered mind.
Your chants and your journeys are all thrown away,
If vices and flaws in your mind hold their sway.
So why be dishonest? So why be unwise?
Don’t live in the shade of these comfortable lies.
If the mind has been turned, then you don’t need to fear,
The home of the Lord is now wonderfully near.
So slowly, so gently, just turn your own mind,
This wandering mind,
This untethered mind.
Once the mind has been conquered, your God is not far,
Why choose to be helpless, no matter who you are?
With practice, detachment, and spirit so true,
There is nothing too difficult for you to do.
If the mind has been turned, then you don’t need to fear,
The home of the Lord is now wonderfully near.
So slowly, so gently, just turn your own mind,
This wandering mind,
This untethered mind.
– meaning rendered by Dr Yog Mahadeo
Gradually, slowly but surely, train your mind to focus on God. Do not be hesitant to pray, do not be fearful of anything for God is always close to us. Let your mind slowly and gradually focus on God’s worship, on His name, and you will see how close he always is to you.
The mind can easily become consumed by greed and deceit. The mind can quickly cause us to lose everything, including our own minds. Our mind tells us, every moment, to listen to this or believe something else. It keeps flitting from one thought to another if not controlled.
If we cannot control the mind and its passions and desires, then all of our worship is mere distracted repetitions. Let us not be hypocritical in our devotion; let us focus our minds on God. Let us not attempt to be dishonest to God or ourselves in mindless repetition. Instead, focus and let your mind remain in a state of constant awareness of God.
With determination and practice, we can realise how close the Almighty is to us. However, we must first control our minds. Practice mind control, cultivate self-awareness, and focus the mind on God. With constant practice, we can conquer and rise above desires and temptations and attune ourselves to the realization of an ever-present God in our lives.
