My Diary – Forgiveness Day, Sept 6, 2017

Have you experienced a situation where someone charges you for staying in your apartment?

Let’s assume a 1000 sqft physical apartment; there is a 1000 sqft of thinking space. Similar to the Physical space, this Thinking space also consists of multiple rooms. You have a room for professional working, room for family, room for friends and relatives, room for individual space and a special room for hurts. The size of each room is determined by your time management of the Thinking space.

Sometimes you don’t realise that the room for ‘hurts’ start growing and starts occupying a much larger proportion of the 1000 sqft of the Thinking space. It consists of a few hurts from your supervisor, a few hurts from friends and relatives and some other hurts from the system and environment. The person who caused the hurts is not even aware that he is occupying a space in your mind. He is staying there without paying a rent and but is charging you of your available and most expensive resource of ‘Thinking space’.

Why do you consciously give space to someone who does not deserve it?

Just forgive and let go.

On Kshmavani (Forgiveness) Day, please forgive me for any hurt I have caused to you in my journey with you.

A few observations on thoughts

1. What is the speed of thoughts? A ‘Thought Processor’ works 24 by 7, throughout our life.
2. It requires more energy to stop the Thought Processor. The more you try to stop it, the faster it starts acting.
3. It follows the same ‘Law of Inertia’ defined by Newton. You require frictional force to stop it.
4. Who provides the energy to thoughts?

a. External stimulus – there are five stimuli. Greed and fear constantly feeds the energy to the Thought Processor. The Thought Processor then has the power to keep all other resources like the ‘Memory Processor’, ‘Image Processor, ‘Logic Processor’ and ‘Inference Processor’ engaged. Finally, it gives control to the “Body Action Processing Unit’ for action depends on the decisions taken.
b. Internal stimulus – similarly, it works on the internal stimulus of inspiration and motivation.
c. Stimulus by the soul – once we can stop the ‘Thought Processor’ only then can we connect ourselves to the natural source of Universal Knowledge which resides within our soul. The best example for this is the sun, it is full of energy but the clouds around the sun give us a feeling that there is no sun. As soon as there is a small breakdown of the clouds, the sun’s first impression comes in. ‘Thought Processor’ is nothing but like the clouds which prevent us from going deeper into our immense universal knowledge pool.

A flower

How do each petals of a flower know how much to grow and when to stop growing? The beauty of the flower comes from when the petals of the inner circle decide not to grow beyond a particular size.

The beauty of effective human teams (including families) comes not only from ‘when to say’ but also ‘when not to say’.
