Bhakti Theology Song 1346
1346 you should renounce yourself
I told my mind
To renounce
Then it asked me
‘which one’?
In response I told
‘Renounce unnecessary
Activities in life
Along with it unnecessary talks
More than that
I should renounce you
You alone should
Show the way for that’
‘To renounce me
First you should renounce yourself
First you arrange
For that’
As my mind
Responded me
Seeking the means for that
I came unto you
I give up several
Needs of my body
I give up certain
Needs of my buddhi
But when it comes
To the mind
What can I say
Further about it to you
It is the decease
Which born with me to kill
It tortures me
Continously
It follows me like a shadow
Never leaving me
Everyday it
Wrestles with me
There is no use
Seeking freedom from it
There is no end
To the troubles that it is giving
Taking pity on me
Show a way to me
Help me to renounce me
Along with it

Another song depicting my struggle with my mind. For me though
one can renounce anything, still renouncing her own mind is almost impossible.
And she who achieved alone has indeed renounced in true sense.
