Where Do You Live ?

Ask this question of anyone, and everyone without exception will answer this pretty easily.

A bungalow, a villa, a duplex, an apartment, a hut, anywhere I can lay my head to rest.. it can be on a hill, in the valley, on the cliff, over looking the sea, in the forest, near a lake or a river, by the sea side, in the poles, near the equator, in the southern hemisphere, in the northern hemisphere, the east, the west, on an island, in a town, in a city, in a village...this goes on and you even have an address proof for that. You may be anywhere on the earth. You are known by the company you keep, the assets you own, the dress that you wear the language your speak the culture you show up. Yes, you have created a space which describes the limit you choose to have depending on various factors including economics too.

It is your own, in square feet, square meters, square yards, acres of space, but, that's not your permanent address.

Are you bewildered? Are you shocked?

Well it isn't my intent, but, I thought I would make you think about your "Mind," a place with unlimited space. It is vast. It is unfathomable, it is capable of a whole lot of things, choose it and you may, if you do not place any restraints.

You are limited only by your thinking.

Let's go back to you house. You maintain every bit of it, your rooms, your sitting space, your dinning space, your kitchen, your washrooms, your veranda, your court-yard, your balcony, you get them cleaned everyday, because you fell sorted out when you see things in order. All of this you can out-source, so you do.

But what with your "Mind," that you can't outsource.

There are many who keep it charged with energy, no wonder they lead a great life.

And on the other side there are other who keep it messy, with regrets piled up in all corners, expectations stifled in closets, secrets under the carpet, worries littered everywhere, comparisons spilling on the table, complexes leaking from old bottles.

All this sounds so disappointing isn't it ?

The intent is to make everyone be aware that it is the "Mind," where we all have been residing 26 x 7 x 365 from the time we were about two years old and this would be the same 24 x 7 x 365 x X years of our stay on the planet. It is just that space between our two ears that defines our lives, and in fact, the whole world around us. All that we need is just to simply take care of that space, reading things good, thinking good, writing well, speaking softly, sweetly but powerfully to be inspiring and to be a good influence.
