Jyoti Kanojia: Believing in reality

It’s quite simple to believe what we see on a daily basis. But do we actually follow in our life, aren’t our mind tired of conceptualizing things. Since we have born bunch of thoughts and assumptions are accumulated in our mind which we are still not able to get rid of. Where is reality lost? Reality is believing what you see now in your present moment, it will lost its significance if we think about our past and relate it in a certain way. It should be spontaneous, seeing and knowing it better rather perceiving it in the form of any thought. In order to experience reality we first need to shed our past thoughts which are now deep rooted in our minds. Everything is changing, seasons change, body changes but why not our minds, why can’t we clean the garbage from our minds. Did you ever experience a fresh mind having no old thoughts? Why judging people, making perceptions and naming it as our so called experience in life, why can’t be new learner born every day. Every person is born with a default talent that is learning, we all are born learners. But we are so much impressed with our day to day learning that we forgot to consider the fact that each n every person in our life is contributing in some way for it we are not. We take pride in giving advice to people but do we really follow them religiously, are we true to ourselves. Face the reality and be stringent on your own principles. We tend to make so many mistakes in life but if someone else does it drives us mad, either we start shouting on the other person or stay cold. At that very moment we never replay the whole incident with ourselves. We always expect a lot from others but never come up to a single expectation when it happens with us. In our whole life we keep impressing others about the things we achieved but life is all about expressing yourself not impressing others, let people think what they want to but be true to yourself. Otherwise after sometime you will not be able to notice you inner self and an artificial dualistic dummy will appear after seeing yourself in mirror. Reality is facing your true self and let others face it too. Now let’s take a closer look how our mind works. We take bath on a daily basis but did we ever consider about our mind, thoughts are always dwelling in it every moment. Did we ever try to format our mind? We are more likely to cherish our opinions every moment instead of eliminating them from our mind. Either we are thinking about our job, relationships, family and friends or about next moment, our small world which never let us think beyond this. Our mind functions in a weird manner, it’s the accumulation of thoughts and notions which we have gained from our life. If we achieve anything, pride takes over we get so much excited about it that we start overlooking most of the things. If failure knocks our doors, it makes us feel low and soon we try to focus in such a manner that it creates certain kind of pressure on our mind and we lost it again. Then we start blaming on our fate and never try to release our pre-conceived notions, giving our mind full space to perform better without giving any kind of tensions. Start your day with a new mind having no old judgements about people as if meeting the same person with fresh mind and positive approach. You will find that person new everyday and positive energies start flowing and soon you will find more clarity in your communication too. Follow a small practice, of giving space to your mind, thinking that you are not working for any company, no deadlines, no craving for appreciation and motivation, not even money and let go everything in life except the piece of work you are doing. You will get tremendous amount of satisfaction and your mind will give 100% because at that time the only thing coming to your mind is your work. Sometimes our desires spoil all the fun, so just need to keep a tab on it. Unfold yourself and work in peace, creativity will flow automatically. If we know how our mind works, then it would be easier to control our thoughts and face the reality with a new start. After doing this exercise your horizon gets widened and you can see things with more clarity, as most of the time we get stuck in our daily routines so much that our connection with reality becomes almost negligible. Let’s revive ourselves and born everyday to see reality and not only experience it but thinking in a wiser manner, believing and then conceiving it.
