Enclosed Within

Dear Diary,

"Either falsity or truth resides

Within your body in an unknown form.

And it is difficult to comprehend it, besides."

-The Leader

Understanding is what has been always given the prominence in this world. As Einstein has said, "Any fool can know, the point is to understand." Likewise in absence of a just comprehension there is the presence of drudgery and who wants such a statement hanging over them? Proceeding with comprehension, caution rewards us with a fruitful serenity that might not have been attained before. I, frankly stating, loathe those motivational speakers because they possess the same stuff to blabber out in their workshops or programs! If that is the case then they would be on the same level of understanding capabilities, is it not? The world, or specifically me, crave for what is varied in their so-called motivational texts. There are no dubious mentioning that I am not respecting their fame or what they are but, this is my personal preference. Motivation is such a thing that must be received or grasped from that one who really understands other concepts excluding their profession so, an another perspective is offered upon not working of one. Another is that they should be old; they carry immense experience of and with the world that their guidance and motivation will empower you more than these loudspeaker teenagers and adults!

Today I had not taken my occasional afternoon slumber but, in its substitution I performed a deed more relating with the upliftment of mind rather than aiding in the decrement of tiredness. If you let me allow to say, that deed really effaced or annihilated that lethargy completely, providing a true benison on my body to intermingle and to divert all focus on the task which I had been doing. That 'deed' was meditation. It certainly paved a path for the existing lethargy or tiredness to move out of this body so, I can be fresh when I eliminate my meditative state. In the previous days, it is not so I have not ever done it; I have but only a momentary period in the afternoon or in the late evening. Anybody's mind does not let itself conquer by the application of focus- when sitting in the lotus posture there are many points which we should consider why our brain, upon the first time of meditation, is wavering to distractions.

It is not necessary to sit in the lotus posture because it is not mandatory and also not a part of a contortionist's acts; the primary requirement is of 'focus.' Occurrence of distractions and waverings is due to the pause which you have applied to your five major senses of sight, touch, hearing, smelling, tasting. In the state of meditation- you keep your eyes close so other senses are forced to function more powerfully (that is the case with blind people; Evelyn Glennie for example ); your touch is also destabilised excluding the floor; your hearing gets attention then so, you are able to hear very low sounds which distract you. But if you are dedicated to your action then you will be focusing on the inhaling air and exhaling air which will ultimately ignore this diversion and same is with smelling- to be dedicated. And you do not eat when you meditate.

I craved freshness from my one and a half hour meditation and so, it is now scheduled into my routine. Must not leave it, no, never. Remember, an apple tastes the sweetest when the upper skin is pealed off; so is human.
