in the mood of spirituality

Another day where early retirement to bed left me awake very early in the morning. Early morning is a fantastic time where peaceful and constructive thoughts arise in the mind. Swami Vivekananda, who is considered as a “Dhyana Sidhdha” or an adept in meditation, says the mind is like a lake. The bottom of the lake is the soul or you. Every thought is like a stone in the lake creating many ripples. Unless the lake is calm, you don't see the you in you.

We use knowledge as a shield to give excuses. And hence we oscillate between blaming others and blaming ourselves during the course of life. There is no reason for any blame, no matter how grave the situation is. Nobody is at fault. Only the nature plays its game changing situations.

Although we consider ourselves as rational human beings, are we being humans? Why is every major decision in life so emotional and sentimental?

Enough food for thought.
