Empty mind and Empty Heart

Make your life hectic and it blocks you out from your mind and heart. Its good actually, to a certain extent. An idle mind is a devil's workshop, they say. It fills your mind with somethings that are inconsequential in fact, but appear too important to ignore if you have nothing else to occupy your mind. Empty minds are tough to manage even for aspiring budding managers. Great saints have not been able to tame this mind, who are we!

This blabbering I am doing here for the irritation of my esteemed reader is just another method being tried in the hope to unburden the mind and the heart. It felt tough to write anything 6 months before joining this institute. But now, I am an expert FAFFER. For the uninitiated, FAFF means a group of words evilly designed to make more sense than they actually do.

Now back to where I started. Life's been cruelly hectic to make an understatement. Enough activities to fill out multiple diaries of an executive. Too much to deliver. And also lesser time for doing it. Over it all, exams, syllabus, classes, extra activities. Its never stops here. Mind's always filled up. Hearts always beating with excitement. I mean this is not all bad. This is really good stuff. To be a part of this marathon of activity, I do feel lucky. I feel lucky for the people I am surrounded by. I got a lot to learn from these people.

Now that there appears a sense of calm in the horizon, I can sense a cloud of thoughts dizzying my brain that I want to wash off by some means. They are of course inconsequential, and of course, temporary. Because thinking about something with YOU in the equation is always temporary, energy sapping, misleading of the real picture, and eventually unproductive.

But sometimes the YOU becomes too much to ignore. Especially if others are paying attention to it. Or perhaps you think that they are. But I want my efforts to actually get me away from these perceptions. There's no fun here. FUN is always outside of YOU. Start looking outside. Its full of stuff that you are lucky to be a part of. Involving yourself there, makes you very light. You start doing things you never did in life, or ever imagined would do. Sing, laugh hard, feel happy even during dizzzyingly worrying times, and feel so brave when others are worrying like hell. You feel it all easy. The dizzying speed of everything becomes slow motion for you.

Now that's why its my efforts directed away from YOU. But whats worrying me is the focus on it, from other quarters which I believe is all useless, and part abnormality on my side. I hope time being the best healer would make things easier in the near future. But now anyway that should not be a cause of concern.

Now I want that empty heart and mind to be really empty for my sake. and wish the same for all. But I always  thank the power which provided me with this beautiful perception and hope that I will for my entire life respect it.

WOW! An example of PURE ABSTRACT FAFF. Can't be in a better form after writing an exam of HR management. Hope my form continues till tomorrow so I could scrape through the communications exam too.

Bye for now. May God Bless us all!!!!
