30.Art of thinking:
Truly, thinking is an art..
When I laze around doing nothing, my mind wanders in different directions, and just like a bee switching form one flower to another, my mind switches from one occurrence in life to another.. Be it a movie I had seen recently, or a joke I had played on someone, there is some thinking done about it.. Even at times when there is nothing to think of, I get something in my mind to think of.
But oddly, when I ‘have to’ think of a certain thing, to know its different dimensions, and what it is, or was, I really am unable to think of it.
Is this because my mind doesn’t want to be harmed by forcing itself to think things which it doesn’t wish to, or something else??
But I try to force myself into thinking of the things I don’t want to think of, as it will only make me stronger, and less impatient.
Thinking is so very perfect, it has its own stunning traits..
Its really very tough to spend an entire day, without ‘thinking’..
Thinking is harder , stronger than speech, and has more profundity and is more complex.. the more you think of thinking, the more multifaceted it becomes..
But, like any other art/skill , if this is done improperly, and erroneously, it takes different forms, or no forms at all.
So it is up to us to do the thinking the right way, so that it doesn’t take the wrong paths..
For this kind of thinking, we must have strong principles, and know the difference between the good and the bad, and for this, again, some thinking is necessary..
This will make you so perfect, that, you at least will hesitate when trodding on uncertain, unstable paths, which don’t seem correct to you.
These paths are just mere thoughts that somehow emerge inside your mind, at peculiar moments, and mostly when you are idling around or in sleep.. its up to you to take it or leave it. If you are wise, you will take all that comes to you, but make the decisions first , if it is right or wrong. If it proves wrong, you must just try to push it away gently from your mind, and not even let a little particle of the thought enter into your head.. As, if these thoughts break through, your thinking will change according to the thought.
Some people are good thinkers as again, they have developed the skill of ‘thinking’, this is the secret to success, be it any field ..
Good thinkers are those who have very strong principles set in their minds, and will always think and work towards them, and will never change direction.
Thinking is so easy, and so entertaining.. you can think yourself to be in a beach, playing ball with your little pup, or dining in a perfect place , delicious food kept in front of you.
If your skill is good, you will also not miss the smell of the food, or even the taste of the salty water in the beach..
Thinking can really bring such realities into your life..
Thinking is a delicate gift given to you, its up to you to open it, but cautiously, look at it properly, and also use it properly..
As this is a gift, it wont be taken back if you misuse it, but surely, it is really up to you to use it, and not let it stale.. as, you can’t have the other’s ‘gift’ if yours decays..
So, I think its time we started thinking.
