St Kabeer's Couplets 37: Rare A Yogi Of Mind Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Easy to drape one's frame in saffron,
Duping Self, the whole world whilst to con,
Rare a yogi of mind
Success so as to find,
More than frame, let mind too saffron don.

Given here under is the original couplet in Hindi and its transliteration in English Roman.

तन को जोगी सब करें, मन को बिरला कोई,
सब सिद्धि सहजे पाइए, जे मन जोगी होइ.
Tan ko jogī sab karen, man ko birlā koī,
Sab siddhi sahaje pāiye, je man jogī hoi.

Easy showing off the body to look like a yogi, but he is a rare person whose mind is filled with dispassion and sacrifice. The day mind becomes a yogi in true sense one achieves all that is to be achieved.
