    The document uses extended metaphors to describe the human mind as being like a galloping horse. It states that the mind can be: 1) Energetic and vigilant like a robust horse when filled with thoughts, or thoughtful like a horse ruminating on wisdom. 2) It can stand serenely or sway with surface thoughts, sprint and gallop rapidly in a mental race, or wander through random thoughts like a horse in a forest. 3) The mind is driven by desires like a horse pulled by a chariot, and can go on wild tours at lightning speed but return to stillness, like a tethered horse.

    MIND....A GALLOPING HORSE?

    Oh my fidgety mind! You are so energetic and vigilant like a robust horse So vibrant when filled with gallant thoughts And so thoughtful when ruminating wisdom

    At times you stand serenely as if nothing goes around At times you sway with some surface grazing At times you sprint and gallop as if in a race And at times you wander over the wild forest of crazy thoughts

    You can fly or float upon your light spirit Or press down heavily under your own influence The whole universe is insufficient when you are let free And too unpredictable to take you for granted

    It reminds of a horse running at the double When you are propelled by train of thoughts... And transform into mindless mind When you stray aimlessly in multiverse

    You are driven like a chariot pulled by a dozen horses Which are none other than the worldly desires... You may be on wildest ever tour at lightning speed But back to the pavilion like tethered horse

    A pair of blinkers may put a horse on a straight path... But how many blinders needed on you? Dont you get blinkered all along on your endless pursuit? Cant you bloom like a lotus and embrace everything with a welcome smile?

    A rein or bridle can control the galloping horse... But not even a full tack If you race like a wild and untamed beast... And surely not by an ill-trained poor brain at least!

    All the shackles willingly sought and accepted Keep you away from liberal thinking... Do you know what a horse needs in all to remain in a place? Just a peg and a rope even if untied !

    The vigour and spark triggered deep in you Is undoubtedly immeasurable by horsepower... If skilfully jockeyed and guided by poking, Is there anything that is beyond your realm?
