Thoughts.

A different view.

Well around 2 days ago, i was watching this lady talking to anothe about how to live a normal life. To listen to the signs, to watch where what was leading to ,and to think inward.

Well, the wa she said it made it seem so simple, and not like the high strung stuff i usually hear - like i have to try and give up all desires to attain the supreme.

Well, for a common individual like me, i don't find that fun, possible, or worth doing.


And when i heard this lady speak, about how, and why we should read the signs.
She took the example of traveling from one place to another. She asked, don't we stop by for petrol? In the same way, we must stop to see the fuel indicator to see where we stand.
If we don't stop to refuel the car, somewhere along the road, the car will stop, by itself.

Put yourself in the same case. If you don't pause, for just a minute and ponder about the direction of your actions, the journey is a little more than futile. If we don't pause, when we get exhausted and break down, we will have to go through a lot more to get back to the initial state of mind.

The same case with our thoughts and our impressions of people. The impressions of people are got through first, memories, outside information, and third, through beliefs.

Also, right now, the journey is taken as a race. A race to win. You compare your speed with thaat of your competitor, not cheking to see if you are comfortable with the speed at which you drive.

Its best to filter your thoughts, just pause for a minute and accept things to be the way they are.
Acceptance means that the mind should not be in a state of turmoil. Acceptance does not mean that that the situation is ok the way it is. That it cannot be changed. It can be.

Take for instance , the maid doesn't come one day. You have the choice to grumble and be grumpy that day or - you can accept that she hasnt come, and be a little less upset, when you have to do the housework all by yourself.

But in today's world, where people believe that anger is necessary, tension is natural , and that "i fight to win" is the motto of today, when did we allow these thoughts to enter our heads.

All we have do do is accept. The cycle goes like this - thought, action, memory, habit, experience, opportunity, destiny.

Here people say something, feel something else, and yet believe something else. We have all been conditioned to be actors, but we do no realise that we hurt ourselves more, first. How will the other person know we act? Say what you have to, but do ponder about what has to be said and done.

Well, i seem to have typed too much. Maybe all this has been said elsewhere, a thousand million billion times, but I understood this, Its like ive gone through life to apply myself to everything she said.

Acceptance. The first step to creating a better destiny.
