There are two schools of thought
when it comes to Mind.
Some say “An Idle Mind is Devils
Workshop”. Others, Socrates, say “Beware the barrenness of a busy life.”
The basic problem associated with
the mind is that it has trained itself to remain / pretend busy.
We believe mind should be always
occupied with the daily rigours of a frantic life.
Mind creates fear of losing and
fools us to remain occupied / busy.
I agree with Mulyadi Kurnia, It
is in the nature of the mind to be restless and abhor “vacuum”.
Here a dialogue from the movie
The Dark Knight Rises reminds about who can solve a challenge:
Bruce Wayne/Batman: Oh, now you're showing off.
Lucius Fox: Defense Department project for tight-geometry and
pacification. Rotors are configured to maneuver between buildings without recirculation.
Bruce Wayne/Batman: What's it called?
Lucius Fox: Oh, it has a long uninteresting Wayne Enterprises
designation. I just took to calling it the Bat. And yes, Mr. Wayne, it does
come in black. Works fine, except for the autopilot. It takes a better mind
than mine to fix it.
Bruce Wayne/Batman: Better mind?
Lucius Fox: Well, I was trying to be modest. A less busy mind. Yours.
I think what we have lost in this
Cyber Times is Mindfulness.
For those who have forgotten
Mindfullness, please read the definition:
“A mental state achieved by
focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and
accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a
therapeutic technique.”
Let’s agree, daily few
minutes, we will practice Mindfullness of the present moment.
