Mind

Mind is the most important part of the human body created by God…even the heart gets runner up in this contest…because it can be controlled…emotions can be controlled…but a Mind is another matter…thoughts cannot be controlled…Minds are such strange things…they are always waging a battle among themselves….whether to express, what to express, if one mind does express whether another will listen, if another does listen what will it decipher…whether other minds will misinterpret or misunderstand or not understand or not interpret (cynicism)…..its hard to tenderly choose words to tell a story....a mind is like a child hopping from one stone in a stream to another….It never quite reaches the other side but it doesn’t stop trying….stopping means giving up….giving up means not functioning…not functioning means dying…so you have to let it do its work….and when you give your mind a passport to go anywhere….to think anyway it wants to…you know…in order for it to express the correct interpretation to other minds….it takes the passport and goes places….places and destinations that are sometimes horrifying, sometimes depressing, sometimes unique, sometimes comforting…but no matter which destination it chooses….it doesn’t know in the beginning what kind of a place it is….sad, happy, good, bad, etc…and then the mind starts filling in pages of notes to be complete….filling in with words that define the ink and the ink that defines the paper it is filling…and the more your mind fills up…the complex your life becomes…because now you know more places…more destinations…and you know exactly where they are lead to….and then you start seeing patterns in your explorations….this is why when a baby is starting to walk…(Abhi is)….he only knows the wall, the couch and so on…to hold on to for support…but then slowly he walks to a table (new destination)…and holds it…and realizes that you can use the table for support too…this way the farther he goes…the more pages his mind starts filling in…ok table, ok TV stand, ok a person’s leg and so on…to get his desired outcome which is ultimately to walk….the same way….an adult has another desired outcome…like wanting something…or someone…then he/she starts exploring different places…in his/her thoughts…and he/she thinks….ok if I do this, will I get it?....no ok well I decided to do this…I decided to express…so then something happens…an outcome…sometimes its not the desired outcome (cynicism again)…and then what…now the person knows alright…I burned myself….I came to the destination or the outcome but its not pretty…its horrible…its painful …then he/she knows now that path is not right…and their mind fills up all those pages….pages worth of notes….notes that help you not make that mistake again and explore that destination…because the Mind ultimately realized it is a hurtful path...and it has notes to prove that…Mind with the working of a machine!
