Let’s move on…..
Ever wondered about social dynamics? Social dynamics means the ability of a society to react to inner and outer changes and deals with its regulation mechanisms. Let’s keep it simple. Let’s observe it through our daily life.
How much life do we live everyday? Probably negative. What are we? Some identity? Or some dogma? Or some memories? We start our day with the baggage of these three things. The sentimental platitudes attached to it are so overwhelming that we never allow any room for any deviation. We live everyday as a conformity. This fundamental immobility stops us from reaching any inflection point let alone going beyond it.
History shows that we are doomed whenever we go against the nature and this nature shows that the most beautiful things on earth are always in action. The beauty of water is enthralling when it culminates itself in the form of a waterfall and the same water is dead the moment it stops in the form of a pond! We all meet different kinds of people everyday. We see them, we speak to them. In this whole exercise we are so over wrapped in ourselves that we just don’t realize that some voice is trying to speak to us. We fail to hear that voice. We are so judgemental about everyone and everything around us that we just don’t see things as they are. We never experience the events in their original form. We don’t allow ourselves a fair chance of growing to the next level. We are the same everyday. We do carry on but we never move on! This very fact makes us unreceptive to any changes happening around. We expect others too not to move on. Soon we find that we are not in equilibrium…neither with our inner world nor with the outer world…As an end result of it we, as a whole society, have a very poor frequency bandwidth!. We never realize that to exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. We are always something and we never want to be everything.
Whenever we go through some experiences or happenings in our lives we just go all out to seek an accomplishment. It ought to be like that. Then it is very obvious that whatever follows after that is just a lingering taste of it. It would be absolutely futile to try to go back and hold on to that accomplishment as our mind gets stuck if we don’t relieve it from the dead events. This stillness captures our memory also as we all know that our memory is a derivative of our attitude & our attitude is an expression of our mind. How can we get better if the most powerful thing, our mind, is put into fetters and is never allowed to leap forward!
We always fear to start afresh with a cleansed mind and a cleansed memory. It is so much easier for us to allow our past to endorse our notions about everybody and everything around us than showing the courage to break free….from all pre-conceived notions, all yesterdays and all experiences. If we don’t break free we go against the law of evolution. We undoubtedly become unsuitable for any movement or action. We end up with the stagnated self & the stagnated self never attracts any life!
Mahatma Gandhi once said, “When you make yourself into zero, your power becomes invincible.” Our baggage will only make our journey tiresome, lackluster and most importantly regressive. Let’s lose it and gain that zero…Let’s create that invincible power….Let’s keep creating ourselves endlessly…..
