It is tough to acknowledge that thoughtlessness exists. But either through guidance or accident, once you discover the state, it can be an addiction with a difference. Why?
Imagine you are stuck in a traffic jam. There is honking, confusion, irritation, desperation, and lack of clarity. That is usually the state of your mind. Sometimes you are aware of it, but generally, you are so much accustomed to this “normal” that it is tough to imagine or desire an escape route, a clear road.
All of us get so used to this energy drain. Just as the crisscross movement of vehicles doesn’t leave any road space for free movement, the same is the “normal” state of our minds. There is no space left for any insight and creativity. The energies are locked. Our disks are usually full. There are no separate partitions either. The only option left is to optimize the space we have.
But can we remove the unused files permanently? The problem is, we cannot. We are so programmed by our conditioning, memories, and tendencies that it is hard to dump the data in one go. What can be done in order to clear the road? Unnecessary tasks can be killed. Immediately, new possibilities will emerge. That is what thoughtlessness does.
Every time you are able to enter this state, suddenly there is load shedding. Infinite calm. True, it is not generally possible to be alone on this road for more than a few seconds. Just as you start enjoying or acknowledging the “change”, thoughts from all directions will enter and hit you. Not an issue. Once you know that a new normal exists, you’ll keep trying. You will realize that you do have some power after all. You will finally understand that the world dies if the mind becomes silent. You will acknowledge that deep relaxation and freedom from daily demons can be achieved without drugs.
Like King Janaka, you will also wonder, “यह सच या वह सच “, which is my real state?
