In the ancient scriptures, a gem does glisten,

It's the Yoga Vashishta, if you quietly listen.

A conversation between a prince and a sage,

It's a timeless guide, from age to age.

"Life is but a dream," Vashishta imparts,

"Reality is deeper, it's in our hearts."

The world outside is but a reflection,

Of inner mind's complex projection.

Ram, the prince, with a very keen mind,

Listens to the wisdom, so rare to find.

"Detach from the transient, seek the eternal,

The truth is within, it's not external."

The essence of life, the sage does share,

Is to seek within, if you dare.

In the grand play of illusion, don't be a pawn,

For every night ends, and there comes a dawn.

So, meditate, let your thoughts cease,

In the silence within, you'll find peace.

With Yoga Vashishta as your light,

Navigate life, with clear sight.
