Mind

Mind is not always helpful. It has to be dropped. I never wanted this much intelligence. I wanted billionth fraction of my current ingelligency. Now it's like a burden in the head. You have to drop to the extent that you have nothing else to drop. Mind is so treacherous that it can act like a heart. Mind is the supreme controller of the body. Buddha dropped his mind. He went beyond mind. And after mind only existence remains. A pure silent existence. In the modern psychology, there is no scope after mind. Mind is the last. In the east, mind is not the last.Existence is the last.

Mind works on logic. And every logic has a counter logic which can negate the use of mind. Mind only knows the past. Your current mental status is the function of past. Mind is never in present. It's in either past or future. None of them exists. So mind doesn't exist. What's all there is just pure present existence. Nothing more can be done than the existence. Impossible. Nobody could do. Existence is the last game. There is nothing beyond this.

Heart is slightly better than mind. Heart is life. Heart is love. Better. Much better than the logic at least. Because logic is always incomplete. Both positive and negative number exist together. God and bad exist together. Both are part of existence. Actually, good is not good, bad is not bad. Good and bad are taking social parameters into account. To society certain things can be good or bad. But to absolute it makes no difference. And since our consciousness is not at the root level so mind becomes active. And once mind is active you will see the dualism. You will see difference. Huge difference. Such a big difference that even you mind is not capable of handing that. When you are at root, mind is inactive else its always active.Let me tell what happened with Buddha. Buddha did intense penance for 6 years. But nothing was happening. He used his mind. He applied many techniques. He started taking extremely low food intake. His body became like thin skeleton. Still no sign of divinity. He thought if I am the consciousness then why do I need food? But later he understood that the body has it's own demand. Finally he became tired. He sat under the Peepal tree in Bodhgaya. That time he had nothing else to do. Nothing. He had tried a lot. Nothing worked. Now his mind has nothing to work upon. Now there is no place for his mind. Remember mind always need something to work upon. That time Buddha's mind has nothing to work upon. So where will the mind will go? The mind will simply vanish. Only pure consciousness will remain. There Buddha's mind dropped and he became infinite. He remained in that super consciousness state for many days. Once can get inspiration from Buddha's life.Mind always need something to work. Because you are always working. You are always thinking. Society has made you a thinker. Buddha was an observer. He was not a thinker. Thinking is opposite of meditation. In thinking mind is active, in meditation mind is inactive.

Excellent thoughts and something to think about it.

Actually nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so and its depend upon your mind who take decision about good and bad. But many times mind doesn't work properly or stop working.

Existence, I avoid an artificial wave of eixstence, so I believe on god's existence in many ways.

I always feel my heart speak with my mind to see the change in me. Also I feel sometime, my heart crying. And sometime unable to find why and how, at that time I left on heart, let the heart speak out. But, sometime I get answer and sometime NO answer.

The Heart of the Matter: Is the true value of design its ability to evoke emotion?

Thanks for your comment.

How do you believe on GOD's existence in many ways?

According to me - Existence is the GOD. GOD is man made word. Existence is/was always there. But ego tries to eradicate the GOD. That's OK with GOD. Because GOD is subtlest. Ego is grosser. When you exist, god is absent. When god exists, you are absent. If some one says "I see GOD". This is wrong. He is not seeing god. He is seeing his mental projection. His idealogy about god. Seer has to vanish.

I didnt understand ur last question :)

Mere kahne ka matlab hai ki, The true value of its design is 'ability to evoke emotion'. Maine puchha hai ki kya Heart ke design ki sabse badi value, iske emotions generate karne ki ability mein hoti hai. I just asked that wid quest mark :-)

Heart's biggest attribute is love, which in turn generates compassion and gratitude. Love is the cause. Compassion and gratitude is the effect. Someone said "Love is GOD". I am not talking about the Love you see in the hindi movie. That's just carnal attraction. Fantasy. In fantasy, everything is possible. That way the word "Love" has become polluted now. "I love you" used in the hindi movie is the most polluted sentence. It should be "I love you all". You can't love just one person for whatsoever holy reason you have. Love should not be slotted. We keep on slotting. We keep on dividing. We keep on choosing. Love should not be confined to a single person. It has to touch the entire humanity.

Mind in general overpower heart. Because, mind is most active. 99.99% of our activity is just mind. Because we have been taught that way. Our school/colleges told that use your mind as far as you can. They didn't talk about heart. That's the one reason we have so much hatred present in the society. Heart is extremely undeveloped, in general. Laila and Majnu is one example who set an example of love to some extent. Laila was a simple girl. Very simple. Still, Majnu was mad behind her. That's the real love :-))
