'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.....

well i was also there tht nite . rather u can say i made myself d goat .. donno if it was my own wish or it was alcohol tht made me do tht .... but whtevr happened jst happened . I donno if i understood why ppl drink ? but i sure understood tht i aint drinkin nemore .. mot untill another time .. tht things inside me chain me to such extent tht i wish to break free.
M pretty sure tht evn tht alcohol, tht yelling out at my inner self & my frndz & those stupid confessions changed my state even a little .. but sometimes u gotta let urself flow in d direction the stream of life pulls you & may be thts wht i did .
But 1 thng sure i understood tht day .. HOSH WALOON KO KHABAR KYA BEKHUDI KYA CHEEZ HAI :) .
nice one dude .. nice messg behind tht .... and keep the gud stuff coming .
first welcome to the blog world.
even you know thta you should have been here earlier...as the creative genuis inside would only be satisfied at this place.
Faces we all carry ..n not one but plenty.
And i believe we show these faces in our perfect senses.....its never without our knowledge.
And tht is why i fear drinking....cause i know i may loose tht control and many things which are best deep inside would come out.
And there are many things inside all of us that only we can understand.
And yeah do get rid of this smoking and drinking habit..whtever may be the reason
"I would like to say them that if ever they might have known why they drink"..........would really like to know wht u mean..but i guess ill explore it on my own.
Keep scribbling and "disturbing" buddy :)
Welcome to the world of the Blog.
It was a wise king who delivered the Drunkard from his wrath.
Indeed, it has not been clear to us why mankind induldge in drinking alcohol. It seems their reasons are as diverse as mankind itself.
And it is very easy to give up drinking. I have done it a hundred times.
@anuj.....
u r correct in ur own way.u r saying same thing which i hav written dat u were really unaware dat that time about d driving force of ur yelling out.....
well u can consume alcohol n yell out ur frustration or realease -ve enery which is inside u....
@desperado.....
u r very correct dat we hav many faces n each of our face has perfect sense according to dat face...so we can never say dat this is beyond our knowledge even we hav drunk....
I came to know ur fear when u were standing alone...
well by the line which u have pointed out, I mean dat if ever d drunkard know why he drink in true sense, He'll give up drinking....coz knowing d reason in true sense, He has to analyze himself n if he tries to analyze himself, he'll have to give up drinking.....
@johney.....
you are absolutely right that the reasons of drinking vary person to person.....
one more thing I would like to discuss that the stability of our decision depends on our will power....If we are mentally strong, we can happiliy stay with our decision.....so here also giving up drinking solely depends on our will power....
hmmm
thought provoking
