Angels and Demons...Not Dan Brown's but mine...
Well I am sure you must be very curious to read "Pluck Pluck Patel" but I am not done with the write-up yet. I thought I should discuss some serious issue with you folks this time.
I wanted to share with you few thoughts on the turbulence of HUMAN MIND and its consequences. Well I might be wrong when I use this term turbulence probably MIND SWINGS is better. Our human mind is an ABSTRACT NOUN.We can't see it, hear it or can perceive through our sense organs but it is something which tells us what not to do, what to do, how to do, where to do etc...
Have we ever wondered how amazing our mind is ? I am sure all of us would have thought about this sometime or the other, like how fast we are able to gather thoughts etc...My mind whirls like a tornadoe. I start thinking about someone, then it drifts to a place where I met the person, then it wanders, wanders and ultimately narrows down to Maddy. Oops...If Sarathy gets to read this he gonna go crazy with the Maddy thing. Hmm...(Am clearing my throat and thought) The human mind travels faster than light and obviously than sound.
Human Mind is not a physical entity whereas brain is. Brain is a part of the human body ofcourse with all that cerebrum, cerebellum and medulla oblangata all connected by nerves(I am just refreshing your knowledge guys)For complicity lets state certain obvious facts. Human Brain is one of the most important organs of our body and mind is something which resides in it. (Wow - the pseudo-medico in me is doing wonders today)
In physical terms brain is something which controls the flow of blood in our body thru Arteries and Veins. In terms of actions, emotions, its the MIND which rules an individual - his actions, his expressions, his behaviour, his conflicts, his desires etc etc EVERYTHING...Well thats not the matter of my discussion. I am just trying to address an important facet of the human mind....CHARACTERISTICS OF HUMAN MIND and the consequences of actions taken when the mind is in ANGEL and Demon modes. ANGELS and DEMONS
Yes, thats the topic of my write-up. The twin facets of human mind - Angels and Demons viz how a person is or behaves when the human mind is in ANGEL mode and how a person is or behaves when the human mind is in DEMON mode. Each of us is blessed or cursed with the twin facets of mind. We are COOL sometimes and TENSED or ANGRY sometimes. We think POSITIVE sometime and NEGATIVE sometime. Have we ever wondered why is it so? Why is that the mind keeps swinging back and forth? Why is that few people are able to look at problems with a calm mind and take them in their stride while others struggle? Why do people tend to tell us "Its all in the mind" when we ask them how to handle problems? Have you ever wondered? Well I am not sure whether I am penning down reasonable explanations for this mood swing but I am very sure about the fact and infact state it strongly that its how we perceive things that matters. Everything narrows down to us, the Inner self and more important the MIND or the MIND SET.
If we are provoked to do something wrong then we can say that the DEMON is plunging into action and if we are pushed to do something good then its the god damn ANGEL plunging into action. Most of the miseries, people of this world are suffering from are because of the MIND FACTOR. In this modern era, HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT have become serious issues. In olden days people were happy, contended all the time. They had issues too, problems too but they took it in their stride and grief and unhappiness used to be a temporary issue. It is not the case these days. Everyone seems to have some problem and the grief is inevitable on their face. They are occasionally happy. Why is it so?? Hmm...these are serious issues to ponder over. Man's quest seems to be increasing day by day. He has depleted every damn resource available on the planet. Right from the poor infrastructure problems to serious global warming issues, today's world seems dangerous. He has not only screwed up the environment but screwed up his personal life too. His quest for materialistic possessions, yearn for things have had drastic influenzes on the people around and relationships and sentiments and emotions have been given a damn. There will be a time when he would have to live like an isolated jerk. Hmm...the cause for all these hardships is the turbulence of mind. Once man wins over it he is the MASTER and not the MIND. Do I sound like Rajinikanth?
Well some of the hard core rajini fans sing the following lines from one of his Movies quite often
"Mannin meedhu manidhanukkasai, Manidhan meedhu mannukkuaasai, Manthaan kadai siyil Jeyikkiradhu, Manam dhaan unarai marukkidhu Kaiyil konjam kaasu irudhaal nee dhaan adhukku yejamaanan Kazhuthuvaraikkum kaasu irundhaal adhu dhaan unakku yejamaanan"
Well as far as our superstar is concerned what he says is just for the masses - does not apply to him viz yellaam oorukku mattum upadesham (Advice is just for others) Hmm...anyways thats not our concern but yes the 4 lines have a lot of siginificance.We should train our mind to lead a contended and happy life and happiness and fortune can be relished only when we are calm and composed and think and make decisions with clarity in simple words - when our mind is in ANGEL mode. We need to be positive thinkers and each of us should take a vow that he/she would do make some contribution for the welfare of the society and people around us. We need to plan and strategise but we needn't manipulate. Many techiniques are available for that. The most simple one is Surrender to God - trust me...it does wonders. Meditation, Yoga, Working for a benevolent cause are other meaningful ways to feel peace with one's own self. Let us strive our best to put the ANGEL in us into action all the time and bury the DEMON in a deep grave.
I am sure all of us atleast in this mailing list are blessed with the maturity to take life in our stride. Was reading a book on the Art of Meditation and listening to a spiritual discourse (Guys - you might be wondering why this gal is changing lanes) so thought should share my perceptions about the MIND thing. Chose the name Angels and Demons cos thats the Dan Brown book I am reading now...:)
cheers
