#MINDFULNESS OR AWARENESS
We all are connected to each other in this world. We cannot ignore our relationship & interconnection with each one of us, nature, livings, circumstances. In our fast-paced, consumer-driven, social-media loving world – human connection cannot be decline.
Emotional connection, a bond that holds together in a relationship, is one of the most important strengths for happy mind. Every relationship encounters disagreements or conflict at some times.
So, accordingly human mind gets developed.
On lighter way, The KHICHDI (Cooking of rice with many ingredients alternatives) is being cooked in pressure cooker. The pressure is being hold in pressure cooker & when pressure increases beyond holding limit it blow the whistle. Exactly this is happening in an individual’s life.
An employee must work with Bosses, subordinates, colleagues etc. in family, a Husband, a wife, a son, a daughter, a father or mother. In a nation way a politician, a citizen, In business an owner, a customer. Likewise at every other relationship. When person discomfort with others or disagree with other, STRESS, ANGER, CRITICISM, JEALOUS & so many adversities happen in our mind. Finally, it is converted in to physical behavioral.
So, ultimately, we can say : MIND MATTERS IN WHATEVER WE DO !
How we can be mindful, it in ourself only. By…..observing our behaviors
The Oldest book ‘Rigveda’ of ancient India start with the first shloka as : ‘O God kindly blessed me with good (Positive) Thoughts.’ It must be written by most experienced ancient Rishis who were knowing mind & thought relations on better way.
10th October is celebrated as : WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY by WHO forto bring attention to mental illness and its major effects on people’s lives worldwide.
On 11th October, there was birthday of legendary actor Shri Amitabh Bachchan (Bollywood India), Who quoted ‘’ MAN HAARA JAG HAARA, MAN JEETA JAG JEETA’’ (If you defeated by mind whole world for you will be filled defeated, If you win by mind everything to fill WON.
If you observe, during weekends on every Saturday-Sunday, most of peoples are going outside from home (At Cinema, Beach, Mall, Food courts, Temple, Hotel etc.) to overcome from loneliness, but surprisingly everyone goes at same day, Again the SAME CROUD available there. Finally, they comeback to home in tired & depress condition. The meaning is ultimately happiness comes in your mind, not at outside.
Today Human being have every possible thing which were dreamed before this century, Luxurious cars, Aero planes, within a second you can speak with whom you want but t is happening in our society? More and more suicides, divorces, murders, short tempered mindsets. Bhagwan Buddha & Bhagwan Mahavir was alone in Jungles, but they were supreme happy, what was the innerness in him. We need to think about it.
One of our well known Guru OSHO said about mind is: THE MIND – A Beautiful Servant, A Dangerous Master.
A mind needs to observe beyond wisdom. So, Awareness/mindfulness on thought process is important
Because of that, Ghalib said : तेरी मंज़िल पे पहुँच न इतना आसान नहीं था ग़ालिब, सरहदें अक्ल निकले तो यहाँ तक पहुँचे (It was not easy to reach your place, When I have left my wisdom then have reached)
At last Mindfulness & Awareness only can be achieved through observing ourself, meditation & (साक्षीभाव) (Sakshibhav* means to have a witnessing attitude towards the world and is developed by practicing a body awareness technique
When we reach that level than become a person like Bhagwan Buddha, Bhagwan Mahavir & those who have reached at supreme level of soul.
Finally, I will close the subject a with story:
At one capital city of big kingdom, there was a crowd foamed, the crowd was started to form from early morning & going on further. Something may strange happen because of that all the Citizen of that town were running there. I also went there when I was roaming in the Town. One strange Fakir was bagging there. Generally, Fakir comes at palaces of king it is not big matter, but this was something different case.
The strange thing was they had condition, generally the person who donates makes the condition but here that Fakir was putting condition. That condition was very strange, King has to fill the pot.
As a King’s Ego, the condition was initially looks simple, King has ordered his staff, that instead of food grains give him Jewelry & Diamonds. That Fakir has once again reminded that pls. think once again. The Fakir said this condition I have not put first time but had with other kings also but they were not able to fulfill it.
Now due to Ego, King’s staff was keep donating Jewelry & Diamonds but everything was being disappeared. I was also there to see this. Fakir’s small pot was not being fulfilled, afternoon already happened, evening also near to finished but that Fakir’s pot was not fulfilled. The king has never before surrendered but today he was falling down on the feet of that Fakir. He said I am defeated; the crowd was dissolving gradually by knowing the miracle happened in their town.
I was also there I can not leave the matter easily, So I was running behind the Fakir, it was about to night, I have contacted him and asked him what is the secret? why this pot was not being filled?
That Fakir was smiling & replied I have gone through so many kingdoms but you are the first one who have asked me such question. I have broken many Egos so far, nobody has asked me such question, I am searching for that person who ask me the question. He said, there is not any secret in pot. Further he said, I was passing through a graveyard, I found a SKULL (Khopdi) of human being. That`s why this pot is never fulfilling…
Human mind is like that which never ever filled. The pain, worries, sadness, stress starts with such kind of mindness.
We are trying to filled that mind which is having basic characteristics is never to be fulfilled. If someone knows this fact, there will be Movement/Spark in his life.
At last…What is success: Success is mental status
