Restless Mind:
What’s the best gift GOD ever gave to human? Its desire or
senses? But would human ever have been able to know about desires or senses
without mind? “Mind” off course is best gift GOD ever gave to us. But then
because of this best ever gift, we make our life miserable by making this Mind
into a “Restless Mind”
Therefore it’s a bit complex question. Desires come out of mind and then these
desires only make mind restless. A man think about desires to make him happy
but what if these desires only make him un-happy in case these are not
fulfilled. He - thinks, develop craving
for things, make effort for make them happening and in this whole process loose
the “Peace Of Mind” ….the same Mind who gave him very reason of existence of
desires.
Its common phenomena….we leave those things behind who were
start point and run restlessly for end point. After reaching end point we again
make it start point and start again for another end point and keep on doing
so……..its a perfect example of “Rolling Wave Planning”. It ends only when man itself
ends or one realize the ultimate truth that its all about “MAYA”. It takes you
to nowhere. It’s just picture frame keeps on changing but you remain seated
where you were originally seated.
So this thing is simple but why most of us fail to
understand this basic formula of happiness and keep on running for one or the
other end point. Should we stop running and start accepting things whatever the
way they come? Who we are to make complain? For whom should we complain?
Had I have the power
of entering into mind then only I would have been able to find answers for
these. Till then let it be “restless mind”
There is difference between “Knowing” and “realizing”. I
know it’s all “MAYA” despite this I keep on running to some end point and that
make me a man with “restless mind”. The reason I see is, I don’t realize that
this is MAYA. I haven’t reached at top of “Maslow’s pyramid”. I am still level
3-4. I am yet to find my path rather than wondering here and there. I don’t know
how much time I will take and considering my past history I seriously doubt
whether I would ever be able to find my path. I am a pure case of failure so
far except few quick wins which off course GOD gave me. When I look on me from the eyes of past, I become
nervous. I become restless again despite
knowing that whatever happened has happened and even GOD cannot revert
back. There has been a vast gap between
my desires and my action and that gap only cause my “restless state of Mind”.
So I am near to root cause of that “restless Mind”
state. What’s the remedy then?
Shall I live with this state?
Would I ever be able to come out of clutches of my “Past’s
failure”?
Would I be keep on wondering in my “Day dreams”?
Why I desire at all about those which I can’t do? Which I can’t get! Which are not in my control? There is big
WHY? And the answer is I don’t have any control on my mind? It means only I
created this “Restless state” but I never ever wanted to be in this situation.
So it means I became victim of myself.
Ahhh…….it’s my mind and it’s not in control of mine…..what a
thing..My mind is not in mine control and I crave to control other
things……..what’s ridiculous desire……. I always knew that problem is somewhere
only in me. But for how long I would keep on finding fault in me. I cannot stop
desiring the things. It’s my natural right. I want to desire but I need to have
control desire…and how will I be able to achieve that…I don’t know. May be I
need to control my mind. But it’s not easy task.
