Relationship Status - Symbiotic


Mind is powerful. Difficult to remember how many times I must have heard this phrase. But I do remember the times I have taken it very seriously. Zero. However, when I sit down to type these strings of sentences, I realize how quickly mind proceeds and processes. However there is a catch to it.

It does it at its own little but, mind you, egoistic will. No matter how fast it speeds most of the times, especially the times you want to go to sleep or not argue or eat or drink or do some random but necessary sustenance activity, it will fail to perform when you need it, perhaps the most!

For example, your memory will go for a toss during examinations, your IQ will be in soup when you are debating and your thinking power will simply JAM when you want to tell the well-dressed hot looking female HR, why precisely you should be the one she should be aiming for or was it otherwise? [wink, wink ;)]

And when a person, such as the reader-of-this-post, bothers to spend around a minute pondering over why it so often happens, the most plausible explanation comes out to be that the mind-is-moody. Mind almost is another person in itself over which we do not have control but what we do have is influence. So if you rise in your egoist grandeur and order it to do something, it will not be your slave to serve you. However if you flirt with it like a potential lover, if you praise it, play with it, feed it, accept its feedback, make it your friend, it will more often than not respond positively. Imagine! So much for something which is inside you and is not even a living thing! Well, not exactly, right?

Imaging having the scope to do so much with just one bit of yourself. Nevertheless with the most powerful bit. While reading this, I hope, my-dear-reader, you realize that when you have your mind in place, why do you need someone else to train? A student, a pet or a system?

Where I am getting is at the old idiom- 'Charity begins at home'. Your mind is your first and also the ultimate abode. If in a lifetime of ups, downs, successes and failures, you are not able to attend to the callings of your mind, I am sorry to say, you have not done too much. So if there is training to do, in order to achieve whatever might be your ambition or goal, it is most important and perhaps the most simplistic challenge to meet, it is of your mind.

I am bound by linguistic limitations to have been referring this as training, but you could also call it friendship, love, understanding or cooperation.

Any term that remotely showcases characteristics of a symbiotic relationship with a heavenly bliss.
