Do You Spend time to look -------IN ?

More Often than not , everyone seems to be too busy involved in performing daily required tasks-the tasks demand our decision making from time to time. The decisions may be very simple as to which conveyence should I use , I should go to Hospital or Not , I should call this person or not etc etc.

Every moment the mind is busy taking various deceisions. As we do it for our Body , we give it a rest whn exhausted, we should rest our mind also. This can be done 2-3 times a day for 15 minutes each time. During the same what one has to do ? - Nothing. Surprised ? Yes - Nothing. How to do nothing? From childhood we are told to , taught to do something always. This looks very very funny. Has Saumitra gone mad ?

Try dear. Close your eyes. Cut out yourself from the world for 15 minutes. Switch of the Cell , Off Hook the landline. Nothing will happen - believe me. Now remove the pressure of performance for this time. only for 15 minutes.Forget your roles - No Father, No Manager , No Wife , No Husband ----- just nobody.

Thoughts - what to do to them ?. Let them keep on coming , dont resist. Imagine you are riding a bicycle on a slope. What do you do ? The bicycle goes on - so thoughts , you should not pedal , dont think-dont react. So the mind will be free from decision making for 15 minutes. You will feel very fresh after this resting process , like getting up in Morning.

This is Meditation. Try
