BIRTH ….At birth a baby’s mind is transparent. He doesn’t think for himself but is dependent on his mother for everything. He’s like a machine which hasn’t been programmed by the outside world, though the software has been installed by the Creator. He learns a new thing everyday, how to communicate when hungry by crying loudly, how o show delight by squealing and making baby noises. His first step teaches him confidence. Slowly he gets programmed by the outside influences.
Blank paper of the mind is being filled up.
ADULT… The mind is filled with worldly influences. The blank paper full of innocence cannot be seen. Everyone is busy educating themselves, travellling the world, getting into relationships, having families, climbing the ladder of success.
All this comes with a price of insecurity, depression, stress, jealousy,revenge, enmity, temporary happiness and pleasure. Ego of I is heightened and being humble is a thing of the past.
SPIRITUAL EVOLVEMENT…. When worldly pleasures lose their lustre, material desires dulls, an emptiness starts eating inside the recesses. What am I doing with my precious life? Am I wasting it ? What was the Purpose of my Birth ? All this soul searching leads to knowing the Self, the Atma. This ultimately leads us to our connection with the Creator.
BACK TO BASICS…. When reprogramming of the mind takes place age old conditions, impressions lose their existence and our mind once more starts resembling the innocent child like blank paper full of happiness and bliss. Gratitude mode reigns
Raining Happiness
