Kill Desire and Kill Ego
There are no ups and downs in life.. We have ups and downs in our heads; because our minds controls us. We worry about our future and we feel happy or sad about our past. What we don't realize is that past is not real.. it is just a memory inside our head. Future is nothing but an imagination of what might happen. Future may happen, future may not happen. Both future and past donot exist in the real world. They exist inside our heads. The only only thing real is NOW. Don't let your memories and imagination ruin your NOW. Don't let your past and future ruin the real happiness that you have right now.
Stop thinking for sometime. Let the dust of thought settle down. Let your senses absorb the enviornment around you. People working in cubicles, monitors on screensavers, good looking people smiling, bright tubelights, perfect temperature from the AC...everything is so beautiful. Isn't it!!! All you need to do is switch off thought process; all memories, all imaginations, all desires and ego and absorb the enviornment.
Happiness is all around us. It is omnipresent. Just that we fail to see it because our minds stops us from doing so. Our mind shows us what we see, makes us feel what we feel.. The human mind inside our heads is like a jennie in a bottle. You leave it, it kills you, you tame it and it creates miracles for you.
Taming the mind comes with renunciation of desires. It means smashing your ego. It's difficult and sounds absurd. But ones attained, you attain Nirvana in the middle of the office on a Tuesday afternoon. But BEWARE!!! Don't chase happiness.. Don't chase Nirvana. Don't chase the desire to give up desire and ego to tame the mind. Chasing something is also a sign of desire.
Understand your environment and feel it.. Enjoy it. don't imagine your future and don't imagine memories from past. Then only will you be HAPPY.
