'Confused mind' or 'mind is confusion'
Hi frendz,
Here is lil story : Once there was a king who used to like visit his state.one day, when he was visiting the city, a drunker came in front of him & began to abuse the king.The king ordered his soldiers to bring the drunker in his court after the drunker would become normal.
Next day the drunker was brought in front of king.The king asked why he had abused him the previous day.The drunker replied, "No My Lord! I had never abused him. How can I abuse u? You are almighty.I can never abuse you.No No No.....that wasn't me.That was someone else.....that wasn't me..."
The King replied, "Yes dear! He wasn't you & still its not you. He was someone else who was abusing me yesterday." Then the king ordered his soldiers to free that drunker.
After reading above story, Most of us would be thinking why the king would let the drunker free while it's the same person who abused him. In my opinion, the king had done right.The drunker was out of his normal sense at the time of abusing(most of us would be agree with me), But at the same time when the drunker was explaining his innocence, he was not in his sense as he was trying to prove himself innocent.....
The same thing happens with all of us, daily n daily, uncountable times....we have many faces. Unknowingly we try to show different faces in front of different people. We all are sleeping, whatever is going on around us,whatever we see etc. are our dreams. We always change our dreams but never try to wake up.....means we seldom try to think about meaning of life. What is life? Who am I? What is love? etc. are some of longlisting questions whose answers we can get only by waking up.....
I have heard people saying (even many times I also said ), "yaar! badi uljhan si ho rahi hai, mann kuchh uljha - uljha sa lag raha hai (confused mind)....." In my opinion, "mann uljha hua nahin hai balki jo uljha hua hai woh mann hai (confusion is mind)....."
On the night of last tuesday, I had taken alcohol (probably last time) with a predetermination to get rid off my habbit of drinking n smoking.....on the same night after drinking, I tried to vomit myself so that ego of the drunker who was within myself could be broken.....I am trying to get rid of drinking as the reason of why i used to drunk has been known to me.....Most of the religions teach us that consumption of alcohol is bad.....In my opinion, its not so that drinking show the weakness of character, its so b'coz by taking alcohol, we try to forget ourselves, we try to remove our memories.....and this reason is one of the main driving force of my decision.....I wanna know more n more about me.If we wanna wake up, we have to go back n back in our memory to recall our memory during transition time of our last death n this birth (hope you will be able to understand philosophy behind this).....
The next day in my normal sense (were i really?) some of my friendz who drunk with me was saying that they had known the reason of why people drink....I would like to say them that if ever they might have known why they drunk....believe me, they will also give up drinking.....
