[O mind], you are always distracting me with useless thoughts. Why won’t you pay attention to the Hare Krishna mantra? Why won’t you allow yourself to be captured by the chanting tongue and the hearing ear? Should I be blaming you for all the offenses I commit against the holy name? (It gets quite complicated and I’m not a sankhya-yoga expert to delineate the relationship of the false ego with the mode of passion and where the mind fits into that, how it all works.)
Anyway, rather than blame you, I plead with you to please hear the Hare Krishna mantra. It will be good for both of us. I am going to try to give up these aparadhas, but in one sense, you are the only hope, dear mind.
