Now we are in a Corona-integrated world. Common enemy unites. What a tiny virus could achieve in few months, even the UN couldn't, since it's inception in 1945. Despite declaring that as the objective.
All we believed in, belied us. Corona lessons that go around non stop in social media - WA/FB/TW - point out the need to start living differently. That doesnt exclude even Spiritual domain.
Spirituality survived for eons. When the aliens occupied India running empires subjugating the natives, only in spiritual domain we saw counter narrative. The bhakti movement started in 8th century enveloping entire India. Tangentially taking off in those times against the backdrop of ritualistic worship. Effective enough to uphold the Indian essence till the end of alien occupation.
Now another watershed moment. Ushered in by Corona. Enough lockdown time to revisit our age old concepts. And jettison the dead woods in mind n take off tangentially. Get slim n more efficient. And live differently in post pandemic world.
Think of all that the world stuffed over decades in your mindspace. Complex Spiritual Philosophies. Postulates. Pickled over time -अचार !
No major change in us, though. Most of us are the same. In endless misery. We 'contained' so much of rich 'content' as mere containers. But 'Containers' and 'Content' don't share common richness.
When things don't seem to go rightly, we need to have some नयापन in सोच विचार . Ek naye आयाम (dimension). So that we radically change as better humans.
Let us begin with a demo. The perennial torture of the mind. Constantly struggling to resolve umpteen issues. Agony. Is there some way to live peacefully. If not blissfully.
For most of us, no philosophies helped. Nor the प्रवचनs n sermons. Neither Mind control workshops nor motivational speakers. Is there a way out ? Tangential possibility? In the post pandemic New World Order at least.
Deeply looking at it, the mental torture originates from certain bias. Inherent in us. No need to refer Upanishads for endorsements . Our native bias is known. Even to our neighbours. That irrational bias only is behind our getting judgemental. On everything we come across. Causing havoc.
Is there a tangent to think differently and escape from the tyranny of judging mind.
Some clue from Spiritual Masters. Certain dynamic silence is the saviour. Mere Sakshi bhav type silence as they say. And demonstrated. Observation without judgements.
Now look at it differently. Without old jargons. The catch phrase is 'Neutral'. All actions arising from that 'neutral equilibrium' can never hurt. Self or Others.
Now can we radically alter our way of doing things without losing this core learning.
When we travel by bus, umpteen things we see thru the window but not affected by any. We 'look' at them but don't intently 'see'. We 'hear' the noises but don't intently 'listen'. We are in our own world even as we observe all.
Certain Neutrality. The good ol' Shakshi bhaav is already out there. We keep going 'looking' and 'hearing' all but not 'seeing' n 'listening' pointedly. It's neutralizing the inputs. Not 'approving' or 'negating'. Negating would mean shutting off the eyes n ears. Not practical.
Yes. The tangent is to 'Neutralise' as against 'Negate'. Negating has it's own downside producing counter actions.
Great spiritual Masters lived by 'neutralising' in a way, in all encounters. Huge 'let go'. That neutral stand point is where we should reach. Calm, Serene neutrality. But firm in execution.
When the adolescent son throws up tantrums, remain calm. Neutralise by allowing it to let go. When he peaks out and descends, get across your point. Firmly. When the boss yells irrationally, let go. Don't negate. Later when he descends to room temperature, try to explain. Firmly.
From maid servants and drivers to superiors to close relatives, employ this. Neutralise. Do not Negate. Negating drains away energy. Yell at the maid and see her smiling away to next vessel to clean after initial retort, while you still sulk. And ruin your day.
Against carrying bias n being harsh, you can be rooted in calm neutral equlibirium, but firm. Still same or more work done at less expense of energy.
All out of the box solutions arise only in serene unbiased neutrality. Not in emotional turmoil.
If mind could be brought to that celebrated status of serene neutrality, even in the midst of agitation all around, we can win. Hands down. Then in every knotty situation, mind can take off tangentially n innovate a solution.
In the post pandemic New World Order, new perspectives like 'Tangential take off' and 'Neutrality', may catch up. And work to create 'Slim' minds without philosophical dumps. So that the efficiency increases manifold.
And it's possible to get a Slim mind without old garbage.
Certain prep needed.
Yes. You guessed it right.
Pray. Chant. Meditate
See the mind thinning out slowly. With less n less thoughts crossing by.
The old unwanted dumps slowly vanish leaving only the essentials.
Mind settles down in a new Serene Neutral Equilibirium.
With certain Taazapan .
Precisely that's the point, where immense possibilities arise to go tangentially and discover new solutions.
Reach there.
In the post Pandemic New World Order.
Sairam 🙏🌹😊
