The Mind


The Human mind has created many things... but the three things important to us today are science, commerce and religion... I designed the picture above to make a graphic depiction of the three components rather the three powerful destructive elements.

Questioning can purify the mind

Only questioning can purify the mind... questioning which is not a product of our thought process...

Nearly all the religions are based on books some one and some several...but none of them allows you to question or doubt... if you question the entire religious world in the west, east and all paces crumbles down in one day... but questioning, doubting something purifies our mind and can only give us the most clear and bright picture of everything. But questioning something is a process with a flow... like if u believe something first and then question you may go from certainty to uncertainty..while the other way round if u start with a blank slate maybe you will reach a level of certainty and strength.... otherwise if we just go into questioning if there is something beyond this material world ... you will get caught in the net of many organized institutions spreading the illusion of security.

We are correct when we think that the mind has also achieved something in the field of science, technology, communication, art, literature, medicine, transport....but psychologically we are stiill the same with our animalistic mind...still with the same conflict with the same insecurity.Your body and mine is different, we exist in different places, maybe speak different languages, eat different foods and are different entities in all physical sense, but only our physical body is an individual - not our mind... the consciousness is not an individual entity.... from the very beginning it was only one... the individually or self centered nature is only an illusion contributed by thought.

We have always learn from questioning... we questioned if the world was really flat... we questioned if the sun was really moving around us... if there is anything on the other side of the ocean... similarly though it may sound preposterous or crazy maybe we need to question the basic structure of our society and nation which breeds materialism, sorrow, pain, greed, hatred. Maybe its too early maybe this civilization like many others will destroy and a new one will come which will grow a bit further... the physical evolution is not yet complete ... but maybe on the final phase....and maybe it will take a million years and many more civilizations before we see the mind evolve into being one.... and instead of thinking that i am an individual we start thinking that my problem is also others and we all share the same conscious mind and maybe from there thought will convert into complete actions - actions based on high moral standards and which generate love and compassion !

Mind, action and thought

Our mind is the most strange phenomenon in nature. One one hand it is extremely complex and on the other very simple. Rather, it is made complex due to the many psychological compulsions we have or acquire during our existence in this material world which causes the conflict and the pain, the resistance to certain aspects and the acceptance and acquisition of some. To be stoic, and just observe them without involving our "conditioned thought process" and let them pass by and not be entangled in them, is mission impossible - i am not saying unattainable. Life was always like a vast ocean and we float on this ocean with our small fishing net... catching things every now and then...we hold on to some while some we throw away thus creating - happiness and unhappiness.

Again all this acquired knowledge is used to build only our own self - our own beliefs, our illusions making everyone of us a self centered entity.Whatever we observe is guided by our desires, our motive our memory our thought. I want this , i don't want this, i am correct, i want to be a director, i want to an actor, i don't want a aeroplane, i don't want to read this shit, i know better, i want sex, i want solitude, i hate liquor, i like guys, i like to show off, i like to blah blah... knowledge makes us create an image of our own self and others around us in our mind from which our actions take shape... actions which takes shape from the self-centered knowledge and our selfishness, ego, vanity and aggression is always damaging and will give rise to conflicts - conflicts between man and woman, conflict between societies, nations, institutions, religious groups and all people.
