An insight
My mind often experiences
convulsions wherein it presumes itself as the dictator and customizes
licenses for itself. It is then that i feel Lost, as we call it, or may be once
again the mind, with all its power, names it so.
I begin to experience the change
in my attitude towards things which i would have dealt with in a manner
completely different, had it not been for the situation. I am no longer happy
but neither am i sad.
Is happiness the result of the
mind's freedom for indulgence? Or is it the result of freedom from one's own
indulgent mind? The vicious thought-emotion-desire cycle, with my
knowledge, subjugates my existence and its purpose.
But then, a state of detachment
from anything to everything i possess, serves as an aide, to much an extent.
And it arrives with its own risks. There is always a possibility that i become
too dormant or expressionless towards emotions around me.
I believe, its the struggle to
attain a near balance between these is what they call, ethereal living. And as
I traverse this path of the beginningless towards the endlessness, it still
remains unanswered...
Is happiness a cultivated
attitude of the mind?
Or is it the outcome of internal being, unrelated to mind?
Anjali,
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back after almost 6 months of hibernation. And that too with a thought provoking post. I always say that one should be what one is without putting on any false facade for acceptance by others and follow own conscience and do what one feels all right as per that. That should give peace of mind.
Take care
Hi Jack,
DeleteI completely agree. False facades can give one nothing but temporary acceptance.
All that matters in the end is whether you've been true to your self!!
Take care.
Hmmmm.....
ReplyDeleteI thinks such things happens to every1, when they think NOTHING and try to find the reasons.
When we try to find out what resides within us.
TAKE CARE, :-)
Hey KD,
DeleteYeah, these things, i believe, do haunt most people, its quite human. We should let go off the unnecessary and hold to anything meaningful that is learnt..:)
Take care..
Looking forward for more posts from you.
