Mental activity is a play, that can cut you off from the reality, that is unfolding around you. You can only
know the damage that it can do, when life takes over, as ‘your’ absence, and involves
you in the grandness of its play, Or else, getting damaged also becomes part and parcel of 'living'.
The mental
activity, cuts you off completely and places you in such imaginary world,
that makes one difficult, even to be aware of one’s own stupidity, even while
others keep pushing you to be get back to normal use of mind. This is an everyday play of human living, getting deteriorated day by day, by making the mental activity, take over your usable intellect or presence of mind, there by leading a deteriorated life style, full of unhappiness.Life starts to rot, in a way of speaking. Meaning, he will never be able to use his mental faculty to the fullest, or even to an average limit, which could shape his living in a fulfilled way.
Mind, is a precious gift of creation and we should use it, to soak the
best of what life offers, rather than push life to make your mental activity take over the 'beingness' that you are, to a imaginary world, that you think, is hell. Its next to impossible, unless by
grace, to move out of habitual thinking. But when we are eager to use the mind
properly, it can steer oneself to play with it, and progress towards what best
it can do.
Various examples could be illustrated of how the mind plays
out, when it deteriorates or rots, because of not using the mind, for the
best results. One small episode that I witnessed was as follows:
I went to meet a client for some business. He was trying to
put too much effort in imagining many things at a time. And the scene went
forward as this. The purchase man, came in to show him a problem that occurred,
where the contents of a consignment expected, turned out to be ‘cotton and
leather’ instead of a 'printed circuit board'. A huge drama was taking place
around the wrong content form supplier. They were calling up the supplier
abroad and forcing him to see the point, which for obvious reasons, he was
missing out. I was handed over the invoice to be privy of the mistake by
supplier. What I saw was very shocking. None of the data on the invoice,
belonged to that company. The consignor, consignee, consignment, were all 'not' pertaining to my client at all. I showed him that he was wasting his time with
that invoice, as it did not belong to him at all, and must be put into the
trash basket. I failed in my effort. The next few minutes, was spent in having
my tea, and I was ushered out, as they had a serious job in hand to change ‘Circuit board’to 'Cotton and Leather'. God knows from where the purchase guy, got hold
of that paper and linked it to their requirement. They must have been work the
whole night doing what was unnecessary. Its a lesson, that one can do very little in dealing with other minds. Most of the minds are conditioned mechanically, as
if one is robotic and only reacting to sensations. If reactions, do not happen, as per the bad conditioning,
they could make the next 'thought' as the ‘source
sensation’ and start up the conditioned reactions, resulting in neurotic thinking.
How is it possible, that one cannot see the point, even when
prodded or forced? This is the main question. Human minds are not ‘shapable’ by
other minds, in certain directions, which should help them unlatch from neurotic
psychosis. Its only ‘shapable’ towards it. At lest it seems so.
Same is with ‘Life’
as ‘creation’ or the words of a GURU. Its screaming from morning to
night, to see itself as a ‘non-dual play’ or illusion as compared to reality, and not reality as in ‘duality’ as we think it to be.
One doesn’t notice it, birth to death. Its the same as the above case.
Life must be playing this crazy game, because, the crazier it gets, the humorous it becomes, for
life to enjoy itself in ‘duality’.
