is This Our Life?
All day long, we keep talking to ourselves in The Mind. One thought follows another. One emotion follows another. Wherever we go, the mind’s chattering keeps going on.Do we not live in this chattering?
If a negative thought comes, we start thinking of good thoughts to counter it. If a bad emotion arises, we engage in some task. If someone hurt us, we live in that anger. We keep changing our mental state based on past events in life.
But have we ever asked ourselves: if this had not happened, would I still be the same person today?We say – if this hadn’t happened, that wouldn’t have either. If this hadn’t happened, this wouldn’t be my life.
In this way, the mind keeps moving from past to the future, from one moment to a thought coming from the past, and it keeps shifting toward the future.Every day feels like a repeat of the previous day. Every year becomes a repetition of the past year.
Who is Going To tell us What to do?
All day, we keep talking to ourselves And we give meaning to events based on our knowledge, belief, memories, and experiences.
Is this really our life? Do we live only like this? Each and Every moment our mind is silent And internally, our chattering keeps going on.
Have you ever tried to understand whether the difficult questions of life can really be solved?Can this understanding come from any book?
Will we get answers from someone else’s mind?If we want to truly understand every process of our own mind, then why should someone else explain it to us? Why should we copy others?
We keep on enduring ourselves.Every day, knowingly or unknowingly, we say so many bad things to ourselves, feel anxious, feel worthless, suffer due to our own habits, and yet make no effort to change.
Why?Because we are not ready to understand ourselves deeply.To bring complete change, we need courage. Don’t We Fear By Our own thoughts and imagination, we fear the same things that we want to change. We have to accept this responsibility: no one else can understand us better than ourselves.
Others can explain for a while, but true help can never come from outside.If there is something most beautiful around us, it is understanding things deeply and without judgment.
No One Can Help You But You: Wake Up
No one in the world can work on us the way we can work on ourselves through deep, direct observation.The mind only understands things at the conscious level, and we live in that conscious world all day.But we are driven by our unconscious past.Do we ever try to understand the deep unconscious layers of our mind?
Those who do, understand the best way to reprogram themselves.I have made an attempt to understand this.If we face ourselves, only then will we realize what is truly going on inside us.Now we must certainly change.
Not just at the conscious level, but to change the deep patterns of the mind, we must start from today, from this moment.Self-knowledge is an endless process.It’s not something that we do for a few days and then go back to our old ways.
The First Step is The Last Step
The moment we start truly transforming ourselves, that step is enough.We don’t need to try to become better; instead, we should focus on deeply understanding ourselves.
There is no method, no technique, Teacher who can do this for us.Once we understand this, we embark on a journey into the depths of our mind—
A journey of awareness to understand ourselves, we don’t need to go anywhere.We can understand all this within our daily life.
If we genuinely want to know ourselves, and if we stop seeking externally for that understanding, we might begin to see clearly.
Even by simply observing our daily actions, we can begin this understanding.Our entire 24 hours reflect how we live and what our true intentions are.
What is the lens through which we look at the world?How do we meet people?How do we listen? What do we think? How do we perceive any event or thought? Aren’t we all this?isn’t This Our Life?
Journey Of Self Understanding
Self understanding always begins with questioning. For example, if we feel bad about someone’s words, then why do we feel bad? How are our reactions? Can we see the emotions that arise within us? Why are we so self-centered, isolated ? What are we sad about and what are we afraid of? On whom are we dependent and on whom do we express our trust? What is our belief system? Aren’t we all this? Isn’t this self understanding? Self understanding is not a Word. It is something that breaks all the boundaries of our mind. It frees us from all our limitations. It frees us from all sorrows. This self knowledge is the freedom that can free us from all the vices.
Change is Never Been Easy
Change is never been . If it were easy, this world would not be the way it is. People are afraid of making changes. People have been told that this is a very difficult task. People are afraid that they will get lost. But only change can set us free. There is no need to be afraid of change. It has to be accepted with responsibility. Every activity of your mind has to be understood with Attention. From today, right now. In this very moment.
