Eyes Wide Open

We all go through these phases in life - we do things with eyes wide open. Both the brain and mind say "be careful" but we still do it. Regardless of how conscious we are of the reality to come we still go ahead with "Eyes Wide Open".

I believe that this is not because we are mentally less competent to make a decision it is probably due to our inherent nature. Such actions define what we are and what values make us.

Probably situations which compell us to rethink about our relationships, where we think we had raw deal at the end of a relationship, it is best to let go and remind ourselves that we lived byh our values. We lived with what we believed in even if it was not mutually respected or so we feel.

Life is too big - in experiences and relationships. What is more important is that we know what we believe in and stick to it. Relationships come and go. If it is worth it it will survive if not you at least gave it your honest best.


One does not need to have a strong positive state of mind all the time to be happy, at times when you can not be positive you can be neutral and thus being negative.

Self motivation

Yes it has been a long time since I put some thoughts on the web. Probably it was due to an overload of mental activity resulting in imbalance of work and personal life.

Conflict between what we believe and what we actually live with causes "thick layers of fog" (Maya) preventing us from the realilty. This phenomenon works well with probably all facets of our lives.

Self motivation is what is required to clear such "thick layers of fog" which can drive you through such periods of conflicts. This motivation generates from a strong belief in the "cause" and "driving force" for our actions in small and big events of time. "Servant Leadership" is one great self motivator which steers me clear in such moments of "thick layers of fog".

Leadership and Zero State of Mind - 2

Leadership in life is sometimes effected by ours and others self esteem, insecurities, relativity and at times by our voracious desire to succeed and excel.

It causes a conflict, a kind of mental turmoil where the quest to achieve Zero State does not go hand in hand with the passion (madness at times) to suceed in what you do.

I passed through this phase for long time and probably nothing worked. It was as if you are trying to live with two different value systems-one distinct from another.

And then I met my mentor. A light discussion on the concept of Servant Leadership with him made it all clear. All points met and it was a pattern. The two value systems of life outside and at work appeared to be mirror image of each other, with one supporting and energising the other. There was no conflict any more. It was all clear and full of energy. It was like a perpetual motion machine, creating energy for every next step by itself.

Servant Leadership is about serving people and is about dedicating every action to benefit others, for a higher level good. Drive and passion at work are now not for a self oriented motive to achieve material benefits and satisfaction but to achieve higher goals of benefiting a larger number of people.

This thought of Servant Leaderhsip itself is based on compassion, on "loving thy neighbour" and compliments efforts on working on Zero State of Mind.

Leadership and The Zero State of Mind -Part 1

It has been my long lasting quest, a quest to maintain Zero State of Mind regardless of the situation in life.

It is usually easier to meditate for 10 minutes in the morning and detach yourself from extreme emotions. You are detached because you wanted to be so and you put a conscious effort on it. Before the meditative practice we tell ourselves that we would refrain ourselves from "thinking" and belive our daily quota of meditation is over for the day.

What is difficult is to live in a meditative state, to walk, talk, discuss, present, drive while you are in the same meditative state. Probvably such state can be termed as Applied Meditation.

Nothing is permanent

Impermanence. A very simple definition of this word would be nothing is permanent. Everything changes with time and nothing remains as it is.

Bhudhists believe in the phenomenon of cause and effect. Bhudhist believe that every event in our life preceedes an event and follows another event.

This chain of event continues through out our life and keeps most of us busy.

Why do not we ponder more on the concept of impermanence and "let go of things". Why do we get stuck to a thought when things do not go our way. One thing goes against us and we go into the "auto negative mode" with series of negative emotions, one leading another.

Probably that is why Bhudhists believe that we need to cultivate positive emotions such as love and compassion and try to refrain from negative emotions such as anger, jealousy and hatred. Reflecting on impermanence helps in cultivating a reasoning to amplify positive emotions.

Well this is not just a one time post and there will be many more occasions where I will have to write around the same lines to pacify my turbulent mind as it is today.

Even small incidents such as the one today can disturb us so profoundly. Compassion and positive emotions are the key.

Colour of Light

Human emotions are like colour of light.

Those of us who understand the concept of "refraction" will immediately relate to the principle that the colour of light is White and the colours we see around us are just refraction of White light.

So, in reality the colour of light is just pure white. Emotions perhpas canbe compared with these refracted wavelengths of light, which appear to us as different colours.

Summation of these emotions is "white", there is no resultant "force".

Well, I am not the first one..........

While browsing through the web I found this resource which explains similar and to large extent same concepts as what I had mentioned earlier in this blog.
