Tendencies of the Mind

    Siting on the terrace of my kutir watching the skies, observing all the flavors and thought patterns and just witnessing what is going on in the inner atmosphere... One of the most amazing puzzle which was there since a long time got cracked... Found out few thing which i am sharing...

   The Mind has 2 characteristics... 1) To learn. 2) To unlearn...

Every event happening leaves its mark on the mind, mind learns something new... Some new impressions are created and few of the old ones are erased or overwritten with the fresh ones created...

  In the same fashion the mind itself can unlearn what has been learnt over a period of present as well as past lifetimes... Just becoming aware about a typical tendency of the mind, and diving deep into it can reveal its source... The deepest cravings and aversions... It works as a process from scratch... Like the RAM of a computer system... The more no of programs are open the system is slow and more possibility of a system failure or even hanging... The less no of programs are open the system runs very fast giving more efficient work done... The mind clogged with more no of thoughts is more confused and inefficient, forget creative... Strength of making decision is very weak... which leads to wrong decisions being taken giving more frustration and more confusion... The mind is not at all stable if it is clogged with multiple thoughts...

   Vice versa if the mind is clear and only required no of thoughts are entertained then it can be the most productive, the most creative, most efficient in work... Now to be well understood bout thoughts... They are again based on the impressions which are carried in the Mind... There are "n" no of thoughts scattered all over the Universe... the one thought which is caught is according to its knowhow in a particular mind... the impressions... like a Vaccine... a small dosage of a particular virus is given so that the body is immune to that particular virus... Similarly the thoughts which are caught are based upon the previous impressions which are already present in the system... for eg... in a particular situation one person behaves in a certain way and in the same situation another person will behave in a certain way... Deeper the impression, less no of thoughts arise of a particular pattern, thus depriving one a broader vision of situation... This is what it is called a Particular person's Nature...

   Freedom comes to the Mind when these thought patterns are broken... By awareness a thought pattern can be broken... just by becoming aware of it before acting in a particular situation... the thought pattern is already broken if u don't act according to the pattern... become aware bout what more can be done in a particular situation will reveal another thought pattern... break that pattern to reveal more and more such patterns... This is the process of Unlearning... once this process starts, over a period of time the Mind is left with no set pattern except the ones which are required for the Mind to exist or survive... keep the body alive... This is the state of utter spontaneity...

 As Ashtavakra says "Acting Spontaneously"

AHO!!!!!!!!
