Analysis of The Steed Of Mind Speedeth Over The Sky
Lalleshwari 1320 (Kashmir) – 1392
The steed of mind speedeth over the sky,
And, in the twinkling of the eye,
A hundred thousand leagues traverseth he.
Yet a man of discrimination can control
the curvetting steed,
And, on the wheels of praana and apraana, guide
his chariot aright.
