rebirth

An apple fell off a tree and a young man lay witness to its fall, due to the mysterious of “realisations”, gravity was discovered. One such realisation took place today in the shower. While i was scrubbing myself religiously with essential oil soaps handmade by khadi!! It occurred to me that a bathroom is more than a place to show up first thing in the morning to ease bowel movement and splash some water and brush brush brush... It has a dark evil twin . it resembles a dungeon. Think about it,!!!! Isnt it the privacy of the bathroom that we take our clothes/pretences off !! and take a deep look at ourselves??!!! Isnt it under that fading spotlight above the dirty sink and a tiny inconspicuous mirror do we actually look at our self! We hate our imperfections, we love our assets, we admire ourselves. We pose and preen. And the next second, scrutinise and dwell in loath . sometimes we over look flaws... Somewhere along the self assessment the action begins, the art of grooming...

I have lost count of how many fights have I triggered out of plain boredom. I have also lost count of all the times iv had to chew my nails in suppressed reactive agitation, this happens when im on the receiving end of a line of questions , all of whose answers are readily available. The questions arise from a consciously unoccupied brain. Not to be mistaken with idle mind. There is no such thing as an idle mind! The mind isn't programmed to remain on idle mode. Its always on standby, waiting for the next line of fancy . But when the mind isnt assigned any specific job to do, it runs on auto pilot. And hits the plateau called boredom! How does the human mind respond to boredom? Is there a fixed norm as to how a person should respond to boredom? What is boredom in the first place? Boredom is a state of mind when, all that which needs to be done is left pending, and all that work in hand doesn’t seem alluring enough to engage. The limbo sta...

regular shmegular its easier to access the roots of a person with the help of any photo record of the first eight months of life. good housekeeping style :P new born to 8 months of age , baby pictures make great " get back to yourself in a jiffy!" easy card.

My thoughts are a bit scattered but jotted them down anyhow. I perceive" I think therefore I am" to be- I become what I think I wish to become. I.e. I evolve into a person that i think i am. The important part of this whole discussion is the "thinking"... Human mind is a powerful tool. We just don’t recognize it’s potential. Those who do. turn into lunatics/fanatics/philosophers etc. people with knowledge of their capacity are often arrogant. Once they turn to arrogance, their journey to learning stops. They are satisfied with the limited knowledge they hoard. Many choose not to share with others/many choose to make a living out of sharing. Choice is always a weapon. Used either to defend oneself or attack! It’s not easy to find people who know their potential, know its consequences, and yet maintain a balance between the soul searching and living up- the results of soul searching. A true learned person (according to me) is the one who has learnt lessons of l...

"But I have convinced myself that there is absolutely nothing in the world, no sky, no earth, no minds, no bodies. Does it now follow that I too do not exist? No: if I convinced myself of something [or thought anything at all] then I certainly existed. But there is a deceiver of supreme power and cunning who is deliberately and constantly deceiving me. In that case I too undoubtedly exist, if he is deceiving me; and let him deceive me as much as he can, he will never bring it about that I am nothing so long as I think that I am something. So, after considering everything very thoroughly, I must finally conclude that the proposition, I am, I exist, is necessarily true whenever it is put forward by me or conceived in my mind." (AT VII 25; CSM II 16–17) my take on the above!!! the deception im talkin about is what id like to call as mindgames played on us. im questioning the aspects of my existence. am i here for a purpose? if so is it useful?what defines "being useful...
