DO I WISH TO GIVE A START?
Do you get up early in the morning afresh, before sunrise? What do you think first? It’s interesting to watch one’s thoughts at the outset of the day. Let us see whether we recall the dream/s we saw last night, some happenings of yesterday or imagine new activities and ideas. May be you are not able to think or recall anything at all or your mind remains blank.
Unless trained, mind is never blank! However, this can be a starting point to read your own thoughts. For we hardly observe our thoughts. What would be the results of going through one’s own thoughts? You can regulate them, make choices to speak and work, take decisions and save your time, energy. This is a very basic practical psychology, a kind of dialogue with oneself to lead a life different from what we were and are. The practice not only help us study our thoughts but also know and explore other activities going on within and around us creating scope of leading a voluntary life, a more conscious life. Our life becomes meaningful. Indeed as we think so we live. You know the process we are discussing here is a very powerful tool of doing Yoga!
Do you watch sunrise every day? How do you feel like? Have you ever asked some other people about how they feel it? Are they all same and similar? Actually, it is not the same to all, even to you always! I find in it an unbound beauty and bliss of Nature. So the same sun rising every day in the east is no more the same; but all new and different just as an ancient river flows ever new. If we were open, it would pour limitless zeal and zest within us.
People say, some realise and even show in practice that getting up early gives rise to creative ideas and activities. Those who walk out in the morning meet more wonders. Of course, it much depends on the person and their choice of life-style. Do I really wish to give a start?
