Whipping the Manas

Busy all day, drowsiness runs deep,

Suddenly feeling pain and itch, I wake from sleep.

Scratching skin and flesh, the mind grows vexed,

Lying back on the pillow, restlessness returns.

For beginningless kalpas, clinging to the body has been heavy,

Even a mosquito bite's welt troubles the spirit.

Constantly disturbed and harassed by the aggregate of feeling (vedanā),

Let go of body and mind, and contemplate at ease.
