Present snapshot of life Journey
It has been about 150 days of me preparing for gate(competitive exam), and in this small gap of life, i have learned a lot.
My first bitter experience was meeting terrorized faces of students who were appearing for gate. Not a single face was gleaming to learn. Obviously when competition is such, this is bound to happen. Still I managed to somehow make myself and others happy by showing "look! it ain't so sad! it is like game!"
Almost every successful person has to agree, if they had been so worried, they couldn't build up such empires.
1st tip one must learn in life, is to be non competitively progressive. In a sense, not just going with winds, but with self judgment. There is another angle to why competition is inhibitor in progress.
Suppose you got fired up by failiures in life for success, then when you prepare, instead of focussing on learning, you will focus on worries. Worries and bubble repute, bubble happiness are harvest of crop named competition. Still it is better to be a bit competitive than to be lazy.
Challenges of life
2nd thing is be in control, the moment you focus on controlling thoughts, 500 more thoughts start comming. Moment you promise not to watch porn, you find 500 reason to watch it more. Why does it happen?
I tried to investigate in this analogy and found out very simple trick to control thoughts. Just become careless about too many extra worries and just concentrate.
Life is not just about race, of course there are issues of survival, but it is about developing habbit of deep concentration. with objectivity(distancing)
It is more of a context free habit. Even though I leave studies, and join theatrics or xyz, the art of concentration will make things easy and effective.
What the heck is this concentration?
It is just focussing totally on 1 thing totally. Like when you play game, or draw a painting, time seems to pass too fast. That is a parameter to judge conc. All altu faltu thoughts seems to disappear.
At some point if you are highly meditative in work, and carefully observe, you will see many hidden aspects of life unconsciously affecting you. Like frequency of thoughts.
Like If I play flute, my concentration is on subtle aspects of harmony, so frequency of thoughts get less commingling into one big harmony.
But while giving exam, I need tool called high frequency thought, so I concentrate holding my breath to just be fast,observant.
So according to life situation I switch from one state to another.
But fickle mind may use this text to say "I can watch porn with conc" but there is huge difference. Fickleness lies in seeking pseudo sensory(lower) pleasure out of excuse of concentration. Destructively Intelligent minds are more prone to this habit of self obsessive, interpretation. Concentration is conscious self growth seeking harmonious process. Its focus is not on senses but on meditativeness. It doesn't have to cross lines rather its strength lies in its varagi(colourless) nature. And after all remember "You can't fool yourself"
The more you come out of temptation, having control of thoughts, consciously finding beautiful expressions by concentration, better,joyful is your life.
After all who cares too much about sucess, take it like game, in this world all is mixed, big fish eats small fish, tom runs after jerry, but if you just live in moment, consciously allowing yourself to focus on now, without thinking or being less emotionally sensitive, life is quite awesome. Problem is that we project life as just a bunch of things which are more outward, but the more inward and distortionless(bereft of distortions brought by external focus) does the system becomes, the more joyful and calmly intense life is.But Accept the fact, limits are must on external levels, only inner and subtler concentration can have no limits.
Would you like race going on 7 days, or cricket match 7 days long? No! But there are great people who play this race of life 24x7 happily like Discovery channel people or artists or entrepreneurs or yogis, just because they have learned this art of inner concentration adjusted to external limits, by doing work meditatively! Their joy is clear from their gleaming faces! I am not talking about astha channel! I am talking of Discovery channel of another kind, of interiorised objective focus, where there are no bars on limit.
Don't run after pleasure in world, make every task so intense that you don't have to beg or knell down for such lesser forms. Try to simplify life, it will always pay! and try to avoid influences of others, including me, after all it is your life!
Disclamer : The more you find words to discribe things, the more it looses its essence, and higher are chances of mis-interpretation, yet wise one will pick up true diamond out of pseudo shining glasses.

Best one of yours. till now.
