Imagery and Perception
Our thoughts are guided by our perception, our perception is thus a resultant of the concepts built in our minds from childhood.
Many of us don’t realise , that we aren’t what we truly are. We have been moulded to fit the world by others. Yes, in early years ,with floating fancies ,the world looks glorified and a direction to conceptual learning helps and facilitates all our learning.
These very concepts become a challenging inquiry , as we grow old. We then try to find many an answer. Our definitions undergo change, our conceptual understanding undergoes a change, we no longer follow the mundane but instead follow what convinces us. Our convictions can become struggles but these struggles become our courage to be our own independent self.
A self that has found the answers to the many internal queries, a self that is well read, well knowledgeable, a self that has seen the many worldly ways. This resilient self, spiritually inclined , unfettered and well determined , is capable of walking the pathway ,single minded and with great devotion.
Self awareness is very important. This self awareness springs forth from the intrinsic layers of strength that are discovered , process by process , throughout our lifespan.
Generally man is termed a social animal, this social animal ,with the gregarious attitude, gets emotionally attached to many a relationship, relationships can be joyous and they can be telling tales on one’s personality.
Many fail to draw the line on these saturated human relations. As one learns to be humane in qualitative expression and also learn simultaneously to focus on what has been endowed upon, one builds strength upon strength, Sanskrit vocabulary would describe this strength and resilience as sthithapragya. A state of perennial constancy in emotion, neither ecstatic or depressed.
We need to become such a source of inspiration through our thoughts, our words and our deeds.
