This one is really interesting: we have gone through different situation of life there are some moments which just take over us whether pleasant or unpleasant and then we loose our balance and roll down starts :) And then at some other time and space same events/similar events looses their importance and seams insignificant and do not touch us why is that...! it's a wonder ahoo...!!! :) At some time at some place same event become so big and take over us and at some other place and time it is just doesn't matter to us what a phenomenon what a wonder...! :) For instance for a kid playing with a toy, his toy is everything to him like if the toy is broken life is broke but as the same kid grow up that toy looses its relevance (TOY IS THE SAME). How does it work..... what is mechanism... here is what I think...........
Its simple that when we are too attached and focused of something (object, event or people) then the consciousness is focused and sharp on the subject so much that it looses the contact with rest infinite (whatever you call it Divine, Bhraman, God consciousness or Big Mind). Then, things take over the mind for example when some teens are in love and if they have a heart break the mind is so much focused on that person that it can't see anything else & that personality take over the mind (personality became bigger than mind). That time mind is not aware of the whole universe and insignificant existence of its own and the person who gave the heart break ... :) Now as soon as mind realizes that this body as well as that body & this relationship is going to vanish in another 40-50 years what happens.... its much more easier to detach mind from that person similarly we can be dispassionate to any object, events and people. Actually becoming aware of the whole creation relaxes the mind expand the mind and in the process mind become bigger than object, events and people and nothing take over Mind. Rather in relaxed and expanded state mind can take over anything :)
Now its a trendous knowledge that whenever something take over you and bog you down its simply means mind is not expanded and things has grown bigger than mind thats why mind is troubled. So to get out of it simply YOU NEED TO EXPAND YOUR MIND.
Now question is how to expand our mind...? And While writing the above paragraph I realised this is a trick to expand the mind... As long as you stay aware of the whole creation mind automatically relax and expands isnt it...? And THAT IS MEDITATION. So just stay atunned with the infinite Bhraman and mind will be ever expanded and objects, events and people will not be able to bog you down as they all stay smaller. Thats the reason I think a devotee never get bug down by anything because devotee's mind is always stay in aware of infinite divine so his own mind stay in infinite expandes state and nothing can grow beyond his mind to bug his mind down.... ahoooooooo..... wah... what a beauty what a wonder how simple it is............. :) This is amazing isnt it...? :)
Now its very simple any situation you looses your temper your center simple sit and meditate let your mind expand and as soon as mind is expanded things will become smaller... :) And If you want to grow you mind so big that nothing take over you than expand your mind infinitely that it desolve in that infinitely we call Bhraman or big mind :) keep meditating keep expanding your mind till it dissolve and merge into infinity :)
All glory to my beloved gurudev :)
PS: please do write what you do you feel about Time, space & Mind

Its divine to hear such words from ur blog!
Jaigurudev
Pooja
1. Emotions are different ways to think.
2. We switch among different ways to think.
He says "If you 'understand' something in only one way, then you scarcely understand it at all -- because when you get stuck, you'll have nowhere to go. But if you represent something in several ways, then when you get frustrated enough, you can switch among different points of view, until you find one that works for you!"
Also, as I understand, he thinks a mind that is using its full intelligence is in maximally aware state. Its a state of all emotional pathways (or no particular emotion).
Mind gets into a emotional state by suppressing some part of the resources (rather than activating something unnatural). For instance, the state we call "angry" could be what happens when you activate for speed and strength and plan less carefully. Replaces cautiousness with aggressiveness, empathy into hostility.
Well the bottom line is.. a mind in meditative state is a mind above all emotional buttons and its selctiveness of thinking ways.. A meditative mind has equanimity and maximally aware and efficient.
So if one is feeling small minded and caught in emotion, it may be just telling you that your mind is struggling to find some solution in a rather crippled way (if emotion is just a way of thinking, using only part of the mind)
If so then Why not, expand with the divine and let it find the best solution that is there for whatever is bugging you. No matter how you look, solution is in looking inside.
