ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ THE POEMS OF LALLA OF KASHMIR JK/NKK 52

JK/NKK 52
tsèttà tvarag gagànà bramà-vôn,
nimiSì aki tshanDi yu:zanà lach     |
tsaitanya vagi bvadi ra:Tith zôn,
pra:n apa:n sandö:rith pakhàcy     ||

The mind-steed speeds
through the sky,
covering a hundred
thousand leagues
in the blink
of an eye.
One who is wise
grasps the reins
of consciousness,
clipping the wings
of prana and apana.

Note: Prana and apana are upward and downward flows of vital energy, corresponding to inhalations and exhalations of the breath.

ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ
