the mind ...
The logic of understanding anything is not just mugging things. A very deep study is needed to understand the entire scenario. What exactly is the reason that only few of us are blessed with good reasoning capability or mathematical skills or toppers…
Biologically, its on neurons, the small minuscule of cells that actually, define all the actions that we do, intentionally or unintentionally. The way we feel the touch of hand, smell of barbecue, pain of pinch and all that silly examples that I can think of. Its all about the chemical infrastructure inside our head. That’s very commendable!
But that was inside the head… then where exactly the mind lies…head is a physical thing, in which all these biological and chemical reactions take place, but that is exactly not the place where mind reside. Or I must say, that’s not the mind.
Mind is something more gigantic, unexplored, and not understood. Its something like magnetism, we know it’s existing, we use it, we study it, but no one exactly knows, what it is! Like wise, mind is also such a topic.
On of my classmate gave me this idea of ‘mind’- every action, our body does as the result of reaction in our brain, is either conscious or unconscious. That leads us top two kind of mind. One that counts the facts and assumptions to reach to a result- our conscious mind. And another, which reacts, even when we are sleeping- our unconscious mind.
Exactly! If someone hits me with a ball, it’s my subconscious mind that makes me dug. But at the same time, if I need to solve a question of algebra, I need to use my conscious mind to act. The entire scenario is very muddled. Both the mind is very active, yet not completely able to act. It’s the prime need of a human body to refine the things using both the mind to come up with any kind of conclusion.
For instance; why we see dreams? Its our subconscious mind that works, even when our body takes rest. I never think what to see in my dreams, it just happens. Same is with the case of many minds.
For sure; sometimes or actually often, we dream what we do and think the entire day, but do we always have the same dream, or do we do the same thing every day…probably no ! The idea is very different, this subconscious mind is designed to think when we are not thinking, the whole scenario is very difficult to understand.
All the neurons has some magical and undoubtedly the most complicated structure of anything made by the creator. But yes, every mind works not even in 3 percentage of what it can, but still we have this world…only a man will full potential mind can tell the answer- what exactly is mind !!!
We use it from the day we take birth till we die, even sometimes after that, but we don’t know how it works. Not even science can answer the exact phenomenon on which it works, so use it, enjoy it, don’t try to understand it, how it works…
The local bus!!
The local bus!!
It was the occasion of MahaShivratri Celebration in Bhojpur. Today we were not able too arrange the bikes for the trip, so we thought to take the city bus, we were 7 in total. Eventually the fair of bus was raised from seven rupees to 20 rupees, with an additional feature to drop you one kilometer away from the main temple.
Still, we agreed to go for it, and landed on the near bus stand, waited for 15 minutes and caught a local bus to bhojpur. Had the trip completed in three hours and returned back.
The local bus was having a capacity of 62 passenger( I know this because, I got the last seat in the bus…). But the festival made a magic in the bus, the total number of passenger in the bus were minimum 95 or even can be more. The scene was very clear from the last seat… in a last row of five, we seven adjusted ourselves. In the front of mine seat, was a lady with her husband and two girls, sitting in a seat of two( thank god, the had a small baby…). And the rest of the seats are hardly visible due to the rush in the bus.
Moving rightwards, may be two or three were sharing the seats, I cant see them, because couples of big sized butts were in the way. The space in between the two side rows of seat was no more a space, it turned into a queue of more then twenty five of passenger in line. Boys, girls, ladies, gents, kids, oldies etc , everyone was pressing each other. Touching ankles, arms, thighs, chest and god knows what. It was a complete fuddled situation.
Needless to tell that, the weight of bus was over the limit, but it rarely bothered the driver. Obviously, the passenger were paying double the charges, complaining least, gathered in large numbers- what more a bus owner want on festival day. The feast of money on a holy day…but is that humane?
For instance, if the bus had imbalanced, it could have cased havoc, a death of at least hundreds of us. Thank god it didn’t happen, but even in hell, if that bad dream become truth for even any one of us, then?
In India, I think in every year we hear half a dozen of news of road accidents of pilgrims. For sure it does not stop the sacred people to go, or the pilgrims to stop climbing thousands of feet’s to get a glimpses of the rock, we worship as our God. But this kind of local bus, can make us very very close to the lord, I mean very close…
Every big city has there local way of public transport, Delhi, Mumbai, Indore, Bhopal, Kolkata etc – city bus serves the most of them…it’s the local public as well as the bus owner and also the government, that someday a small mistake can take away many life in a flash…it’s a very unsure world, risk is in every part, but why to make things bitter…local bus is not a place to kill people, and nor should we make it one.
Reaching a destination half hour late is very profitable the never reaching there. Misfortune can turn in our path any time, thing before rushing you and overloading the local bus…you never know- when u can get crushed!
