Time, Space & Mind


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 :)

yes of course the magnanimity of the infinite will be rightly used if we keep having a glance at the grander picture and evade the small pricky self entanglements.
Its divine to hear such words from ur blog!

Marvin Minsky, normally considered as the father of AI, has some related observation on emotion and thinking with unexpanded mind in his book the emotion machine. For him,
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.

Some more Q & A

Here are few more Q & A with Swami ji: Q. What is consciousness? A. Everything is consciousness! Whether you can see it or not, feel it or not! Q. What is the purpose of my life? A. On this question, Swami ji asked the participant to pat himself and said congratulate to yourself that mind is opening up and going beyond the day to day life, my job, my family, prestige etc. Then he said I will tell you three things in reference to this question: i. One who know will never tell you the answer. ii. Those who are telling don't know the answer. iii. Keep asking your question and whatever answer comes keep putting them in trash and one day you will get the answer to this question :-) Q. Who am I? A. Again for this question Swami ji asked the participant to congratulate himself and he said again follow the three things I told you in answer before. i. One who know will never tell you the answer. ii. Those who are telling don't know the answer. iii. Keep asking your question and what...

Krishna

5103 years ago Sri Krishna was born. Gokul means the family/society where there is knowledge. If you look at Krishna's life its amazing. As a friend, child, thief, musician, husband, teacher, lover from every aspect He was the best and complete. He was an uncrowned king. We still remember His journey from Brindavan to Dwarka. Krishna said 4 kinds of people worship me a) Miserable people b) Those who want something c) Those who want to know what is life and d) Gynanis. Know that I am not separate from the Gynani. Gynani is Me and I am Gynani. Radha is longing and Krishna is love. Vasudeva ( Ananda ) brings Krishna to Gokul when every one is sleeping. This means when the senses sleep Love comes out through ananda. Rama and Krishna are completely opposite in nature. Rama was born in the noon and Krishna midnight. Rama was always a shishya, i.e. a student throughout His life, whereas Krishna was always a teacher. He was a Guru even to His mother. Rama respected every one. Every one re...
