Vrinkesh – The Divine Home

I used to feel hell guilty in my articleship days for at times not reaching my classes on time, not completing homework, not doing my potential best in the office, for lashing out at people due to disturbed emotions. I had a thousand things to do with negligible time to mentally process what exactly am I doing and why. You think hardwork pays off well? Well, those were the years I failed the most. I feel, I failed as an article (intern), as a student. I failed as an emotional support to people when they needed me. I failed in the academic exams also. I felt like a ‘failure’ as a human. I faced most criticism and betrayals during those years.

Today years later, when I look back, I feel compassion for the heartbreaking life that soul was living. She always gave her best with the limited acumen she had. But things will keep falling till we learn the self administration and people will stay sour till we learn the diplomatic intelligence. Experiences and time teaches us those skills.

Sometimes, it’s not the hard work that we lack. It is the blessings that we require. A pause. A deep long sleep. A good rest. A cry therapy. A spiritual emotional support.

Our mind starts working in loop when we keep repeating thoughts and actions. A loop does not think. A loop only processes what is already programmed.

A good sleep and sufficient rest help us to process the emotions and makes us reconnect the emotional and logical part of our minds.

And that’s where the creative thinking starts working. In my case I was not just working mindlessly, I was also dealing with some emotional wounds which come while choosing to emotionally invest in wrong people. Infact, every next person becomes wrong when our restless mind puts off the compassion and kindness aside.

The natural instinct of a restless human mind is irritation or anger with the slightest of discomfort.

To change that natural instinct, some emotions are to be reprogrammed.

And that reprogramming comes from correct knowledge. A knowledge that questions our responses, our emotions playing in loop. That knowledge questions the wiring of how we process the inputs we receive from the universe around us.

To imbibe that knowledge and to process those emotions, the mind has to be calm. And that’s where rest becomes important.

A restless heart can shout, can throw anger, can hurt another person but cannot process its own emotions. So let’s not forget to take breaks. Sleep well. Eat well. Practice being alone and crying as therapy.

Calmness is a long journey. Awareness of one’s disturbance is the first step towards it. Calmness brings compassion, kindness and emotional completeness. If you see any of those emotions lacking within, the journey is ongoing and the destination is yet to come.

Pleasure and pain come in waves but calmness stays. It is the pure peace!

Wish you and me as well, to become someone who lives with that bliss!!
