I must also say that no body is forcing you to read this blog... but i would be happy if you go through the collected wisdom from many thinkers including me and ask some basic questions to yourself....
Maybe you will feel that the world is much nicer today than it was with so much advancement and convenience...why bother with the mind...
So please do not bother... let their be a killing of a girl child every five minutes in India , let the father sell his kids for his daily bread in africa... let the girl be sold to a brothel in bangladesh... let the powerful nations make missiles for the next 100 years... let bin laden kill innocent lives in the name of his religion... let commuters get bombed in local trains... let me loose a million soldiers across borders... let the famine flourish in africa for another 100 years... lets watch television and entertain ourselves with the dangling head hold by the hairs by some terrorist... lets watch the final swing of saddam from the gallows... lets not bother... with all the violence, pain, conflict, sorrow, war and be happy with our pizza and let go and do the same routine work at our office for the next 50 years...
We can be happy with the outer world with so much advancement etc.. but again the inner world will remain same.. the inner world is what which controls the outer world and science and technology and all its manifestations... a violent mind full of conflict and destruction and which is self-centered cannot bring in non-violence...

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 !
