Instructions to the Mind

TEXT 9

Mind, meditate on
the moon of Vraja forest
as the Lord of my queen,
the queen of Vraja forest
as His mistress, Lalita
as Their peerless friend,
Vishakha as the guru who
teaches Them many things,
and Radha-kunda and Govardhana Hill
as two places the mere sight of which
gives charming transcendental love.
