Change in you is change in society

The mere anguish to change the society only creates further confusion and misery. The one who wants to change the society must have very clear understanding about what is wrong with present society or with our day to day life. Only through negation one can come to positivity, to negate you must know what is wrong with present society. The best thing is to look at yourself as an outsider and see what is wrong with you, without any desire for change. Because desire to change prevents learning about yourself, if there is no desire to become somebody and you are watching yourself there is self learning, only this self learning brings revolution within. Start with simple things like in a day you are afraid of one thing or the other, question yourself is that fear in mind necessary? Why I am afraid? What I am afraid of?

Whenever your mind is forcing you to take some action to change society, ask yourself do you have clear and simple perception about the problem. The perception is correct when it reduces the complexity of the problem not when it increases it. Most of us don't have the patience to look at the problem without any desire for solution. The mind which is interested only in the end result may find a solution, but that solution is time binding and also it gives more energy to the problem and increases the complexity of the problem. A clear and simple perception is only possible when the mind is not divisive in itself; most of our minds are divided by nation, religion, caste, ideology, color, language...etc. Peace and happiness are global things but man out of his greed and ignorance reduced them as personal, and it is the root cause of all human sorrow.

Be a light to yourself

Happiness in our heart is directly related to the process of learning. There is immense happiness when you are learning something independently and there is no end result to achieve. Only when the count of people who are in the process of learning increases we can see change in the society.
We can say our lives are in danger if we are simply living based on beliefs, admiring or following others. Day to day life is a book from which all other ideologies, theories, philosophies, sacred books has born. So the person who can learn from the relationships in day to day life can only live a comfortable, simple and happy life.
The person whose brain is caught in words of a guru, ideologies, philosophies, sacred books or a mail like this will only struggle till the end of life, because it ignored learning from day to day life. Books and words are just sign boards if you worship them you can not take the journey.

Happiness and self forgetfullness

Seeing and listening are the basic gifts by nature to all human beings. They are gifts only when there is joy in your heart, when you are watching or listening to something. Is it possible at all that just by watching something my heart is filled with great ecstasy? It happens very easily when you are with nature, like when you are watching sunset, a bird on the fly, and the morning freshness of the mind...etc. In all the above said things we forget ourselves very easily. So whenever I forget myself and the mind became silent, simple and still there is this ecstasy in our hearts. Till this point life is simple.
I think the whole problem is we are aware of the fact that behind this ecstasy there is self-forgetfulness, which means you died for your sorrows, pleasures, fears, and burdens of day to day life for a moment and there exists this benediction. Our ignorance of this fact makes us run after success, power, position, money, sex, drink, recognition...etc. So ignorance which does not know us, is the root of all sorrow. Whenever we try to repeat our pleasures there followed the sorrow. Knowing about the self is the primary education for every human being.

Mind and Brain

May be the mind is of GOD and the brain is of human being. When certain things about brain are understood it can comprehend that which is whole or complete which is the mind. To put it other way when the activities of brain are not based on the calculation of self security then the mind will reach out the human brain or the brain is mind. The only reason being when my brain is only concerned about my security, it is destructive. When you are caught in the desire for self-security, you try to accumulate more and more. When you are only important to yourself, you will be ready to destroy balance in the nature, or the peace in the society. May be the mind wants a brain in which there is natural self abandonment. Here the word natural has great significance, if you say to yourself I must live without self then it is not natural. But if you learnt about the nature and structure of self, then it drops itself naturally. I used may be intentionally so please inquire into it.
