If you want to find bliss in your life, then you should understand the working of the mind as well.
We often suffer from stress and depression, and it happens when we allow our thoughts to take hold of us. When we don't connect with our thoughts, then we experience bliss. So in order to experience bliss, you must become liberated and stop connecting with your thoughts.
Our mind is geared up with the formation of random and independent thoughts. We never realize that these thoughts are random as we have become used to in connecting with them.
You want to test it? Okay... Just sit for 10 minutes. Now watch your thoughts and jot them down as they occur, one by one. I know that you must be thinking about what you had in your breakfast, your next thought will be about your work, and finally you’ll remember something your relative, closed one or your friend must have said to you some three days ago. Now you see that how they are un-related?
Once you begin this process, you will indulge yourself in the process of connecting separate un-related thoughts into what you believe is the real truth of life. We have a habit of connecting independent moments of sadness and convince ourselves that our whole life is full of suffering.
Right?
We connect thoughts from our past as well as what will happen in the future, but rarely enjoy the present. If you too find that you are connecting two thoughts, then stop there only. Allow thoughts to come and move out with ease.
We create an image of ourselves on the sole basis of what others have said to us. Just when some people compliment us, we think that we are like that.
For example, we connect all the times anyone has given us any kind of complement based on our cricketing skills, then label ourselves a good cricketer.
The minute we get out while batting, we become sad.
The same point become true when we are insulted by someone. We think that is the truth of our life. But the reality behind all these things is that these are completely independent. We continue living our life without having a certain label.
Our outlook on life depends on our our perspective. If we will connect positive moments in our lives then we will have a great life but if we will connect the negative independent moments, then we will surely believe that our life has been miserable. But trust me, nothing is true.
You just need to preserve your thoughts separately and simply watch them as they come and go.
Never try to connect them. This is the only way of finding a pure bliss in your life...
