Dear Neetu,

Thank you for your comprehensive response to this post. You are too kind and generous with respect to words of praise and I am humbled.

As we know, right hemisphere is the memory and left hemisphere is the analytical brain. Our right hemisphere has more installed capacity than what we can imagine as the scientist indicate we use only less than 10% of the installed capacity. Dolphins use a little more cerebral capacity than human beings. Therefore, our right hemisphere has capacity to handle big data and operates like a data warehouse. Our filing system and use of storage effectively determines how clean the right hemisphere is. The analytical part is the one that uses that data to interpret and provide us decision-making power. Even viewing an object is interpreted by our left hemisphere with prior knowledge of identical objects.

In my opinion, the parts that can be automated are the efficiency of the storage, deletion of junk and delete folders and assembly of relevant meta data for review by the analytical brain. All other requirements are already coded into our system. In my opinion, right living enables us to automate those processes.

I also visualize that we have several right living principles built out of our experiences stored in left hemisphere. Some of them are in conflict with each other. We have to find those conflicts and eliminate them as they create stress to our mind.

Dear Sabitha,

You are much more than a simple user. The fact that you are always focused on reactions than the thought itself is a clear indication of right living. That is exactly what I said to Akanksha in my response. It is never thoughts or actions of others that hurt us but it is our reaction to such thoughts and actions that are responsible for our emotions. Saturating such thoughts internally and derive our conclusions including forgiving and forgetting, if necessary, work wonders.

Books can bring us to the water but it is us we need to experience by drinking the water to quest our thirst.

The real challenges in managing the parking lot are security aspects to protect the invaluable parked vehicles, managing incoming and outgoing vehicles, sufficient space for movement of the vehicles, marking prime locations for VIPs and challenged, valet parking space, tow truck to remove sick and unauthorized vehicles, sufficient lighting for better visibility, cleanliness of the parking lot, time management of parked vehicles and space management with signs such as “Closed for parking”.

Optimizing the value of the real estate is the key element in the success of managing the parking lot. When we visit parking facilities, we always notice long-term parking and short-term parking garages are marked separately for the convenience of the drivers. Therefore, drivers are given an option to choose the best place for them to park their vehicles. The vehicles that need short-term space should be accommodated but it commands premium value.

Every night, it is important to know how many vehicles came in, how man vehicles went out, what was the inventory that remained in the premises overnight, which vehicle remained unclaimed for a longer period, which vehicle is considered a security risk to the premises and therefore needs to be removed by a tow truck, proper control of the keys of the valet parked vehicles, sick vehicles requiring assistance, etc. Every day, it is important to know how to manage the real estate with incoming and outgoing vehicles and managing the mission critical VIP, challenged and valet parking spaces.

We have a gift called mind as our real estate and it has unlimited capacity of storing any amount of thoughts that a human being can handle in his/her life time. Thoughts come in and go out all day and we need to learn how to manage them very efficiently. Some of those thoughts might be very important requiring attention while others are concerns that we have requiring attention every day. We might have committed to give our opinion for someone who seeks our assistance on a matter and those commitments are like valet parking space. Once we think through and give our opinion, we can handover the key to the person concerned and remove that thought from our parking lot.

Some of our thoughts might be a risk for our healthy mind and we should not hesitate to seek help from professionals to remove those thoughts forcefully out of our mind. It is important to take an inventory of our thoughts that might be under different categories such as important, urgent, long-term, short-term, sick, etc. All our actions associated with our thoughts should be reviewed every day once before putting them into action and once after the actions were made.

Even though our mind has unlimited installed capacity to store several thoughts simultaneously, we have to realize our analytical mind has the ability to analyze and interpret only a few thoughts every day. We have to realize that we have control over incoming as well as outgoing thoughts at the point of entry and exit respectively. When we analyze the inventory in the premises, we need to definitely know which thoughts are relevant for making our life better, which thoughts make our mind healthier and secured and which thoughts require immediate elimination from the premises through forceful professional action.

It is our real estate and we have a right to allow, keep and remove thoughts at our will. We use the premises for our own development, for providing support to our relatives and friends and for the general well being of the world. It is an inter-dependent world and neither secluding ourselves from the world to be totally independent nor becoming a total dependent on others around us makes sense. More we sync our development with that of others around us and the general welfare of the world, we become successful.

thanks for directing me elsewhere to your introspective contemplative essay on parking vehicles vs grey matter.
It reminded An institute in Bangaluru training people to be ambidextrous.
I heard the clowns collecting and throwing hats from space gather all hats one over the other at the concluding stage have been imparted such training where it is demonsyrayed that their brain capacity exceeds the ordinary. Spellbee contests too falls in this category I believe. Focused attention calls for extra energy and circuit of brain . Right nostril breathing and left nostril breathing helps enhance activating potential of left and right hemisphere of cerebral mustle they say. Ancient saints seemed to have been using this breathing technique to control, arrest wandering mind.
I read all the feedbacks and your responses thereto. Truly thought provoking about control and stream lining thought process from beginning to end?!
Happy Deepawali once again.
God Bless Us All Always.

Dear Sri Thyagarajan:

Thank you for your visit to this snippet, Sir. You are right about the ancient saints appeared to have taught the technique of how to regulate thoughts very effectively and how to eliminate unwanted thoughts. Besides, they also had the ability to increase the Sankalpa to very high intensity and make the nature provide whatever they wanted to accomplish.

How we manage our real estate i.e. mind determines how happy we are in life. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's speech in Ted.com given below is a perfect example of this science.
