Mind,Senses & Reality
Have you ever noticed how happy a newborn child is? He seems always enjoying his surroundings and is free of any worries in the world, be it an economic crisis or a catastrophe. He remains calm and serene whatever the condition might be. The reason is that his mind is still not conditioned and he sees only what is without any judgments. He sees everything with the same view and plays no role in distinctions, all is the same joy and bliss for him. He is only true & natural "him" and that's why he is liked and loved so much for his innocence, but I feel he is much wiser than his elders. He has no worries and concerns to look after, he is just freedom itself and nothing else. His wisdom is in total nonuse of any conscious judgments, he just welcomes whatever comes in his way.
Now in the process of his growth, he learns very many things from society and its rules and regulations. He starts passing judgments, that's what he is trained for so many years of education and training. At a modest age, he forgets completely his natural happy state in his childhood. After so much education and training he becomes an active member of the societal turmoil industry. Now all freedom and true happiness is only history and he is bound by the shackles of his own mind & beliefs.
Senses are useful when they are properly used and not when they start using you, they drive you their ways and through time it is left without any control over them. Senses are the tools of unreality and so they will automatically deceive you and your already conditioned mind, they go in parallel. Senses and mind go hand in hand and say that it's so much happiness in material things and sensual pleasures but one either dies striving for it or when one gets it, he finds no true and enduring happiness in it like he had in his childhood when he has nothing to lose or nothing to gain. Gains and losses in society have made man a dismal machine, he continuously jumps from one branch to another like a monkey with no real knowledge and ends up in frustration only.
So reality can only be seen with no mind, no prejudices, no judgments, and can only be seen with an empty mind like an infant. Be calm and serene and let mind & sense play their parts but try not to be indulged in their play, just watch them, be a witness only like a child, and surely you will regain your true bliss and freedom. Freedom is already there but our minds and senses have projected their own film before the true vision. So try to be mindless and naive like an infant, it's possible, and it's the only way to wisdom as you can only pour water in a cup when it's empty.
Reality is all around you vociferously crying to get your attention but it's you who is not already awake and finishes our whole life like a blind, but nothing to worry about as the universe has brought you to the right place to get you the answer which you were searching for due to the reasons which we will discuss in our upcoming discussions. So stay tuned and awake. Any comments are most welcome!!?
