The moment one realizes that one is not the director of the cosmic play playing across ages but just a part actor with some scenes as per script, he is free of most of stresses and anxieties.
Then comes the observer perspective. observer of self , own moods, own reactions, own misbehaviours and deviations, then awareness of the building up, then awareness of the factors, then the status, then of the choice of responses, then freedom ."How to be Happy?" "How to be at Peace?" Amidst a Life full of stress, pain, disenchantment, this Blog is an effort to find and follow the way to a liberated, meaningful and successful Life. Life has been a journey, and I have been a pilgrim! The journey has been long and arduous but not without rewards and milestones. Lets share, discuss, learn and discover joy !

A Quntum Mind!
Only a Quantum mind can solve the mysteries of Life and the world and can easily sift the true from the untrue from the continuous invasion of his mindspace.
A quantum mind does not either accept or reject any theory or opinion even if it from a Nobel laureate. It has a major area of no judgement in between and puts all new theories into the same. As he broods over it he mooves it closer to acceptance or rejection area till he finally accepts or rejects it.
The Overheated Chip !
In many ways the human mind and brain can be compared to the computer os and the hardware.
When a child is born, he is born with minimal capabilities and information. He knows just to breath and to partake of his food, i.e. milk as per gods design. He can not see. He can not control the limbs, other organs or the natural needs. He can hear and the only response he has is the crying. Crying of a child can be for 13 different reasons from hunger, pain, cold, hot in short anything abnormal.
Then in a few weeks, the device drivers of the optical, audio and the motor units start getting installed. Then starts a massive data uptake, compilation, linking and summary of the information collected continuously of all sense organs.
Then more complex programs of speech, identification etc are loaded and in a few months a fully loaded supercomp is running at full speed.
At the twilight, the reverse happens. Memory blocks start getting corrupted. Drivers fail. Motor mechanisms also become slow and unsteady and so on.
What happens in between?
In the period of youth and afterwards when the hardware is finally set up, it can not develop or repair any more but starts getting corrupted block afte block.
Also, if one could see inside the task manager of an adult human, he would find at least 20 programs running on the front end and a hundred in the background. Remember, how Windows start shaking and hanging at just 50 programs. These programs include the boss, the colleagues, the life partner, kids, school, promotion, house, emi, tax, investment, neighbors, friends, relatives, nation, politics, cricket, vacation, bills, past, present, future and so on. Many of these background programs take over in idle time i.e. sleep in shape of dreams. That is why dreams show us what is running undreneath the conscious mind and are called "Golden road to the subconscious." or something like that.
So we are looking here at a chip multitasking and severely overloaded and overclocked. The result is obvious, burning out if the chip at a fast rate and reduced life, besides reduced efficiency coz any productive work like your ppt would take forever.
So what to do to save ourselves from burning out early as well as fatal health repercursions and also to improve our efficiency and thereby our success.
Easy, the same as tweak our comp.
First, unwanted programs running in the background need to be terminated. Most important of them are memories of past and 10-20 year plans of future. The paat is already dead and the future will be allright if you do well in the present. Second is the worrying part. Worrying a lot doesnt help in solution. After that, things have to be let go, upon the trust in God, destiny as well as the confidence in oneself. We will tackle it when it happens. You can not plan every move and response in life. Let go the illusion of being in control and take it easy a bit. Worrying 24 hours will not help more than worrying 8 hours or so. What will help is, relaxing a bit and tackle the issue again after a while. A relaxed and calm mind can tackle almost all situations.
To these ends most helpful is meditation. It helps in calming the mind, relaxing, clearing, improving focus, summarizing and finding hidden solution in peripheral vision. With a bit of physical exercise or breathing exercise results can be wonderful.
Getting good 8 hours comfortable sleep is most essential as a necessity. The REM sleep of 2 hours is the basic requirement for repair and maintenance of body and mind. The Body and mind are our most vital equipment, which has no upgradation, replacement and sometimes no repair as well. Therefore let us not burn them out and give sufficient cooling. Sleep also helps in defragging the mind and is almost a meditation. That is why the most wonderful ideas are born in early sleep or just at the time of awakening.
So friends lets handle the hardware and software with a bit of love and care and you will love the long and wonderful life you will have and yes without any error mesaages.
Quotes of Buddha-2
Quotes of Buddha-1
Mind : The Madhouse
ever noticed your thought streams, flowing through 100 lands in just 10 minutes. no single thought being processed for even 5 minutes, but then always lurking in the shadows, coming to the fore every 5 minutes or so. all past pains, future fears, guilts, memories, all churning the mind, whenever without any external preoccupation, or alone. leave a man alone for a week in a room with nothing to engage the mind, and there is half a chance of him going off the rocker.
its like a powerful speedster. very fast but without any steering. you will be zooming very fast, but going in all directions and hardly getting anywhere. same here. thats why we in possession of something as mighty as our mind, get bogged down by it, instead of benefiting from its unimaginable strength.
So 1. Mind is supremely powerful. its powers beyond limits of body. its eye reaches all spaces and time. all mysteries are revealed to a mind that is still.
2. Mind is always moving or rather flutterin, due to which causes stress and pain and forgeys its immense power as well as its prime aim.
So stilling the mind is the mammoth task.
Allrighty then, lets get on the job!
