May it* perform all the rituals
And may it focus on the duels
Let even the passion for heavens be
Its neither mine, nor for me
May it gain pleasures, earning
And may it cry in pains, burning
Let even the lure for wealth be
Its neither mine, nor for me
May it eat to hearts content
And may it have health if its meant
Let even the taste for wine be
Its neither mine, nor for me
May it crave across generations
And may it even build many nations
Let even the lust for women be
Its neither mine, nor for me
May it create and destroy all that is
And may it claim over war and peace
Let even the (endless) chase for happiness be
Its neither mine, nor for me
May it renounce and live on alms
And may it wait for the bliss that dawns
Let the dreamer sleep and wake to see
Its neither mine, nor for me
*it = body, mind, intellect complex; that is, the insentient that feels sentient, but is not!

The idea is to just be the witness right?
Really beautiful Bhau!
Jai ShriRam.
Thx Rags, but I wouldn't be sure in saying that. Being a witness too seems like an effort. Effortlessly, carelessly, it witnessing is happening without even wanting to witness or not, perhaps, thats how it would be.
I was possibly only expressing not having anything to do with the good and the bad that is attributed to one's Self.
I'm sure you have heard of Kabir's
Na main dharmi na hi adharmi
na main jati na kami
na main karta na main sunta
na main sevak swami
na main bandha na main mukta
na main sevak sangi
na kahu se nyara hua
na kahu ke sangi
na hum narak lok ko jaate
na hum swarg sidhare
sab hi karm hamara kiya
ham karman se nyare
Nope, I hadn't... but now I have! :)
But I think the influence may have well been by nirvANa shaTkaM.
