Hi janani,

great maturity for your age. In todays Deccan Herald Shri Ravi Shankar has said that we should be in a state of awareness as we go through our daily activities.
He has also said (in one of his writings) that Meditation is anything we do in the state of awareness. As you have rightly said "be concious, stop for a while or count till ten.
Though I have never attended any of his lectures or courses I like his writings since it is easy to understand and follow. Once he wrote on how to acquire virtues.
He says virtues are there in each one of us, We just have to use them.

So lets say we are all born with beautiful mind, which has been polluted by our needless worries, actions and reactions. All we need to do is to clear up this unwanted garbage.

bye for now. We all will continue walking in this journey together.

Dear janani,

When I read 'Beautiful mind' I am reminded of the Hollywood movie by the same title. I feel that a true scientist's mind is a beautiful mind as has been portrayed in the movie. Unrestrained thinking, wild imagination, unbiased thoughts, seeking truth are some of the characteristics of the beautiful mind. A child like mind is also a beautiful mind. I am sure when one attempts a beautiful mind the body also becomes beautiful automatically. Your write-up is great, thought-provoking.

Regards,

TDU

 

Thanks Latha and TDU

 

Dear Lakshmi
I feel good that people of ur age hv started thinking of 'beautiful mind'. My experience says that a person of ur calibre and thinking should proceed to think of transcending the ugly and the low. I don't understand why we hv such great attachment for ' beautiful' things, feelings and ofcourse minds?
It will be very pragmatic to see the low and ugly as joyfully as beautiful things. I know I am confusing u but to be frank I don;t agree that ' beautiful' has any definition and so how can we aim at it?

 

That's a very beautiful post coming from a beautiful mind Janani, and I really envy you for reaching such an enlightenment in such a young age! As Varalotti sir rightly said, it is time to emphasize on a beautiful mind, a beautiful self and stop focusing on external beauty. Sadly, we spend a lot of time trying to tame our physical appearance, which diminishes over time and lose sight of the internal appearance, which only glows(and grows)more and more over time.
