The Chakra Alignment

Last week I purchased a used car from Spinny (a Car Dealer in India), a Maruthi Suzuki Dzire blue color car, a very sturdy one and I liked it very much.

Before purchasing the car, I did a test drive and somehow was able to convince myself that with 9-10 years of driving experience, I could certify and give clearance.

But reality came to the limelight while speaking to my friend who hijacked my several years of driving experience and asked to get the car checked in the showroom with a so-called certified mechanic.

Shelling out 3K INR was a little hard for me for just an inspection…but somehow made up my mind to call the showroom executive and raise the inspection service.

After about 30 minutes the executive called me back and asked sir “Wheel Alignment Beka” in Kannada (meaning do you need the wheels to be aligned) …. I said BEDA madam (means no thanks) ...since the certified mechanic inside me did not feel the requirement and a non-certified cost saving of 1800/- bucks was also supporting this statement.

Though I appreciate your patience in reading the above boring and lengthy story, the interesting thing is in the word “Wheel Alignment” which made me write this article.

I do not remember the date, but approximately a month back I was driving to the office from home, and the routine “bumper to bumper” ride was giving a lot of goosebumps to me and my car as well with intermittent humps in the road…between this joyful ride suddenly a thought struck my mind…

Is my body moving???....

I mean the car is moving and I am just sitting and driving…car has got a motion…but am just sitting inside the car. Here I want to refer car as an object, the object is moving but what about my body, does it have a physical motion? This question came to my mind.

Being a PHYSICS GRADUATE, I don’t know whether am doing justice by raising this question, if any flaws are found then my Physics HOD will kick me for raising this fundamental doubt.

But the poor mind was restless and tried to find a self-certified answer…Motion or moment is defined as when an object changes from one state to another state. Interestingly, do you know how this answer was derived?

The car was near a restaurant at one moment and as soon as the bumper crossed a temple nearby…the object which is the car here changed its state of being near the restaurant to near the temple, so the car changed its state and since am inside that object (car) my state is also changed.

Don’t know if my Physics HOD is still going to kick me for this logic…my certified mind somehow passed a “hence proved” comment with a smile :).

Coming to the main point here, the object (car) is moving, body is moving…the next question that comes is how about the mind…is that also moving along with the object and body?

May be “yes” or “no”

Is our mind also traveling along with objects and body to our current state is a big question to think about….

I believe it will be a remarkable moment to achieve consistent alignment of all these Chakra in life wherein I can say “Wheel Alignment Beeku Madam.”
