The blessings of 10 minutes
Person 1: why do you
always take the difficult path and land up suffering
Person 2: why do you
assume I see 2 paths…..
So simple yet so profound. Awareness is a gift . just to see what seems simple, clear, basic
,logical and right in front of you takes
years and sometimes decades . what was all this while right there , screaming
at your face , you did not notice cos you were all over the world doing what
everyone does to keep themselves busy . just to avoid hearing ourselves we will
keep running from here to the end of the world, holidaying , partying,
relationships, movies , music, lunches , dinners ,gossips , the internet etc…
we want to know the world ,amaze and amuse the world with our talents and
success , but how much do we know ourselves. (well Medidate!!)
“Men have lost it! , when
I am in a relationship I will be loyal and loving and give my 100% to the
relationship” not even a year into one and you are either a victim or cheating
or blaming the other person or well moved on to the next one. Why does this
happen , cos we actually ,truly don’t know or understand ourselves. We always
have an idea of how we will act in situations ,I will be a better boss, a
better spouse, a better parent… but we mostly land up doing what everyone else
has done around us maybe with different intensity and we have enough lies to
tell ourselves to justify our behaviour cos well ‘how can I be wrong’.Total and
utter chaos !!
10 minutes if you sit for
10 minutes everyday with your eyes closed ,watching your thoughts , your
reactions to the days events you will slowly be able to distance yourself from
this chaos and SEE, see yourself how you do things that YOU actually don’t
wanna do .you are doing it for all wrong reasons. You will see that its all
you, and nobody else, people mirror what is inside you so you will see only who
you are in other people as well. Well this is easier said then done cos the
most difficult thing in life is to face yourself , raw ,without any
associations ,stimulations, and gratifications. This to me seems a great place
to begin with cos each persons journey will guide them from these 10 minutes to
where ever they are meant to go in this life time.
