Intricate Human emotions!! How do we go from being simply ecstatic to downright disillusioned in a matter of few mins /hrs & vice versa. Now I have always admired the human mind. Its the most powerful thing humans have been bestowed with. And the most destructive as well. Years of conditioning empowers it with a force which is unbelievably hard if not impossible to reckon with. If you develop the rare ability to detach yourself from your mind & become an observer rather than the thinker, the experience would astound you. You would see yourself being a slave to this monster whose dictates have no rationale. There are always two voices playing in your head. Ever noticed or paid attention to that little voice which is trying so hard to make itself heard. The other voice in most cases has or is on the verge of killing that small little voice. That small little voice is the real you. Its not to say that the other voice is someone else. That also is you, but its more of that conditioned mind which speaks for itself because it doesn’t need you any longer. You have fed it for years with a certain set of perspectives, thought patterns; behavior patterns, that now it functions as an independent unit, no longer needing your support. Ironical!
The task of non identification with your mind is an almost impossible one. Possible but quite a mammoth one. Personally the one or two times that I have been able to do it, the experience has been tranquilizing, to say the least. The destination is a long distance away but it holds the promise of being an enriching one.
