Don't go by the title i gave... It is according to me the heights of insanity... Maybe not according to many other people...
There is this tendency to be with someone... a need of somebody who recognises you as who you are... According to us that person gives us our own existence as a something ( Mother, Father, Daughter, Son, Brother, Sister, Husband, Wife, and on and on.......) but the heights of insanity is even if we are hurt by any of these relationships we still tend to look for someone or somebody else again who can console us in Bad situation... and Share the grief... Maybe you ll invite that person in your happy times also... not necessary that you ll forget that person in Happy times... But still there is a need of somebody...
In the dictionary the meaning of the word Insanity is... Doing the same things all over again & again and searching for a new experience or result... Thats y all the scientists are Insane... But when it comes to our own mind... This tendency is, well i wouldn't say Harmful... But on the path we have to renounce this tendency too...
As my beloved Master says, " The fool feels crowded even when alone and the Wise is alone in the crowd... " There is this emptiness inside all of us... The unknown fears it... The wise crave for it... The space where nothing can touch... No Relationships, No tantrums, No impressions... NOTHING... That is the place of nothing, and then we can actually say, I am Nothing, I want Nothing
I have lost the topic from my mind... So till it comes back.... Hold on
ADIOS AMIGO

while the dictionary meaning of Insanity is repeating the same thing over & over again, I would possibly not look at it as a tendency of the mind!!!....its much too complicated for that, I think.
See, Guruji also says that perfection is achieved, only when we cross the levels of boredom....and that is when we repeat something again & again.... for example Sadhana....so the more we practice the more we perfect ourselves....similarly, the knowledge, the more we delve, the more we realise, or the Seva, the more we do it, the more interesting & enterprising it becomes, also Satsang...the more we indulge in it the more blissful we become.....all this is repetitive to the core.....
So now, would you call this insanity!!....maybe its insane to someone who sees it from outseide, but, its complete bliss to someone who is immersed in it....
So insanity has both sides to it...according to me, it will be limiting the vision if we go purely by the dictionary meaning...its much more & beyond.
On the other hand, the tendency to be with someone else or the desire to be with someone else is a natural phenomena..... that is how nature has created us....so if one relation fails, we look for another..essentially the need to feel wanted & therefore secure.
What is poosibly needed is to realise that all this is natural,....become aware of the feeling, the pain that comes out of separation, & dissolve it in the largesse of life & move on... as life has a meaning for everyone....
I want nothing...I am nothing...becomes bliss then...as finally there is nothing to gain & nothing to lose....
Good thoughts.....Wow, Scraps...just opened the mind for you....LOL...
I do agree with both of you.. there is craving and aversion..but the being in nothingness is also important..hollow and empty...everything is important and has its own place and time depending on the situation. ..so everything boils down to the situation the being in the now.. now is what it is .. nothing everything ...repeating and being relieved.to deal with the mind Now.
