The Yogi Bear Sutra

Yogi, Yogi

Great is this bear, shining in mindfulness
Beyond measure is the capacity of his knowing
The streams of his thought
Vastly exceed the mental capacity of a common creature of his species

Yogi, Yogi

Great is this bear, hungry yet ceaselessly active
A bear who is everywhere

Yogi, Yogi

When the Ranger is irritated
The bear is there
In the tables where nourishment is consumed
The bear is there
Consuming more gross material sustenance
Than a common creature of his species

Yogi, Yogi

Great is this bear, Lord of meditation
Marvelous in action, yet fathomless in repose

Yogi, Yogi

For inestimable kalpas this bear will sleep
Even as Arjuna’s blazing chariot crosses the sky
This bear will remain in deep samadhi
Until Arjuna reaches the midpoint of his journey's arc
Then, with sudden and furious energy
The bear will act
All the baskets of nourishment
In the earthly realm of recreation whose name is Jellystone
Will be within the bear’s possession
Before Arjuna's blazing chariot has left the sky

Yogi, Yogi

Great is this bear, felicitous in action
Devourer of bad karma

Yogi, Yogi

Great is this bear, his richness of mind is beyond all earthly wealth
Truly, his thought streams
Are greater in capacity than a common creature of his species

Yogi, Yogi

Great is this bear, limitless in thought, unstoppable

Yogi, Yogi, Yogi
