My name is O. Yeah, it's freaking weird, actually! I don’t know how the hell I got this name. However, that's how it is!
Actually, I'm not sure how I ended up here or what my purpose is. Sometimes you find inner peace when you are a passive observer in the noisy world outside! Sometimes silence turns into a loud battle of emotions. It’s weird, isn’t it? So maybe that's why I'm sitting here, gazing at the surge in traffic during this office peak hour.
This road, you see, was resting in peace some hours ago, but it is now handling the worst load of its’ day!!! But that’s a perception, you see!!! Some may see it as having lost its peace, while others see it as having turned 'alive'! It's all just perception! That road has been lying there for years—maybe decades—but it is playing a small but crucial role in someone's day-to-day life.
Actually, I sit here very often. I enjoy doing this because there are moments when we are unsure of our desires, uncertain about what to do or where to go, or uncertain about the nature of the problem at hand. Funny thing is, it’s there somewhere deep inside, crystal clear, but your mental state is at something else, somewhat faster, busy may be!!
Therefore, a seemingly insignificant issue may appear to be a complex problem. However, the complexity lies in the individual's mental state! According to Gandhi, in certain specific mental states, humans may consider a piece of rope to be a snake!
At times, we experience a sense of emptiness within ourselves, as if we have nothing meaningful to discuss. It's like a shallow drum! Perhaps I am in a similar state at the moment. But my mom always says, “Never try to concentrate; just delve into whatever you are doing; it’s easier!!!”
I passively observe the environment's external dynamism so that I can actively observe my own internal dynamism.
Did you hear that horn sound? We could potentially synchronize the horn sound with our internal alarm system to arouse our behavioral patterns. Perhaps multiple alarms are ringing in our minds, yet we suppress them!
Do you see those people rushing towards their homes—their restlessness, their brittleness? Do they even know their destination? But can you spot the cuckoo perched on that tree? It's also the result of an all-day search for food. Her kids are always waiting for her to come. But she knows exactly what she is doing.
When your mind is unoccupied, it generates unique ideas that you may not even recognize over time. I wrote the snippet above during this mental state. I just wrote whatever came to mind. What I've noticed is that it helps you organize and channel your thoughts.
