Mind has its own mind...

Mind has its own states. We can say that it has its own mind. (Like body has its own body... wound heals itself, digestion happens on its own) For example when we are in a problem and know the solution to it... Then we say to ourselves that this will be solved by so & so...

But it is obvious it will not make your mind happy... Mind will keep on worrying about it... still it exhausts itself or problem gets solved... So mind has its own mind... The logical mind is not its controller... So what to do...don't let down... Keep your logical mind instructing your emotional mind... Then emotional mind will start to obey after some time... because mind has it's own mind

I bless you with more and more envy & jealousiness

Before I bless you with Envy and Jealousy. I will give their definitions first. "E nvy" is an emotion that occurs when a person lacks another's (perceived) superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it. "Jealousy" is the fear of losing something that one possesses to another person. We are in a period of transition culturally, economically and socially. Effect of privatization in India led to culmination of service sectors like software field. Growth is yet one sided like richer getting richer while poorer still poorer. But there is plenty of opportunities to everybody today than 1970's. More people are getting in to middle and upper middle class now. A lot is getting richer. But If we measure the happiness they have we can find how poorer they are. In this modern city based life and life-style which is wholly materialistic the thing that is lagging behind is the spiritual aspect. Envy and jealousy is b...

Shame to be a man

I have been always proud of being a man. I used to believe that as a man I am mentally and physically strong. I always had a strong male ego. I used to have the same mentality towards women like everybody used to have from my part of world. As everybody I was brought up in a way that made me believe that as a man I am above women. The flawed society in various forms like mass media "cinema" reinforced the concept again & again. Like most of the men I saw them inferior, sex icons, weak, dependent, less-intelligent...etc., etc ., The moment of realisation... I always proud of being a man till that very moment of realisation struck in my mind. This stuff is personal, but not really a personal one. Here is that very moment... My wife was carrying a baby baby. One night she told that baby is kicking... It is the first time she is feeling it so strong...I laid my hands on her stomach to feel the baby...my baby hit my hands...he was moving & shaking inside...I felt like cry...
