RAMBLINGS of THE MIND

MIND MIND, the all so POWERFUL MIND ... but why do we call something SO POWERFUL when the same can be goaded by the feelings of greed, malice, anger and envy, and also be ebbed into oblivion by the feelings of self control, selflessness, philanthropy and restraint (will power) !!!!!

Its the mind that tells one to conclude : I like her a lot, I think I love her, I cannot live without her, but I think she does not like me and does not have the same feelings as I do ... at the same time, it is the same mind that says (though not instantaneously), Hey what if she is a fool and lacks the power and understanding to comprehend what true liking / true love is ?? I do like her a lot, but she does not like me ... it is not my mistake that she fails to see clearly !!!

The mind plays games and elevates the importance of someone to such great extents that you feel that she is the best and you crave for her and want her to be a part of your life and support you in all your tasks, be there to cheer you when you win, be there to jeer you even when you loose, someone whom you can share your joys and sorrows with ... but alas the mind also torments one (when darkness prevails) and says hey .. wait ... this is not the end of the road, move ahead, the journey is not complete, there's light at the end of the tunnel ... a simple mistake transforms the destination to tunnel .. this is the MAGIC of the mind .. it shows you what you want to see, and not what you should be seeing ...

MINDLESS games encourage one to care and fret for someone so much that you stop thinking of anything worthwhile ... the mind is preoccupied with the images and memoirs of someone to such an extent that even important tasks / events seem to get a back seat ... you crave for every opportunity to meet her and wish that the voice from heaven keep pouring into your ears 24x7, 365 days a year reminding us each moment of the our nearest celestial body, reflecting the divine image !!!

AAAhhhhh .. how wonderful an image does the MIND help us conjure .. but the same mind doesnt so readily help us out of such situations ... it takes a lot of effort to break the shackles of joy and love and get back to self dependency and despondency .....
