Righteous

I sometimes wonder. Wonder that we are such as self-maintaining, self-operating machines. We keep performing some work all the time. The machine need fuel. We eat, drink. The machine need to perform some work. This machine should constantly do some productive work otherwise it starts rusting. Our mind try to escape from his duties. When we talk about mind control, we are trying to say that we can control our mind. Who is we here? That means we are not mind. Mind is just a part of our body. Or it is the mind who is saying that control me/help me.

When I say I, does it mean my mind or me as everything including every part of the body? I sometimes feel that there are two voices which I hear from within. One is always rite and the other one is confused. The other one keep me engage into something non-productive such as thinking about nothing, or stopping myself from working, making me feel lazy, doubting, etc.

We can easily discriminate between productive and non-productive thoughts. All we need is some courage to strenghten the productive one and kill the non-productive one. We can do that. We can see many around us who have done this. I need to do meditation and payer. I need to bring more decpline in my life. The results are not that important than the way chosen to perform the task. We should focus on each and every step not worrying about the end results. If there is time limitation, we should limit our objectives rather than using shortcuts to finish the task. It is always good to deliver quality work than quantity work with low quality.

I will continue on this later.........
