Generalizations are seldom fruitful pragmatism; still, they may have utility in arriving at some hypothesis, which in turn paves journeys towards righteous paradigms.
The generalization is –
Beyond this generalization is a fruitful pragmatism. That is –
... somehow, it is tough to accept but the fact remains –
“Being the theatre, the script, the protagonist as well as the audience, all unto oneself is some artistry of consciousness, we all need to have...
The Consciousness, which can change the Cognition, which in turn can change the Causality does this for us... Play with it... This is maaya and leela...!
As is the mystically randomized positioning of the eventualities of life, most good things happen in life, when we expect them the least. ‘Expecting’, does not seem fruitful option, especially in contemporary world of precarious and preposterous possibilities; though, no one can keep away from this instinctive urge.
Instead of landing oneself in the ‘reactive-positioning’ of ‘expecting’, it seems, a better situation is to be ‘receptively’ open to the beautifully metaphoric synchronicities of life, which are often sandwiched between the randomized eventualities of life.
Often, magic begins both ways – one, we plan for things to happen in a certain way and then enjoy its fruition, if it happens this way. Second, things happen, as they may and then we plan enjoyment and fruition into them.
Somehow, the art is in evolving to such a receptive consciousness, which is aligned to enjoyment and fruition in both ways – expecting and planning the randomizations for ‘specific’ joys as well as designing joys in ‘generic’ randomizations…
It seems strange and very paradoxical that we live in very liberal cultures, where openness and acceptance to every eventuality and all transgressions are considered a smart benchmark for all to accept. However, when life and living randomizations throw up things, which often are not to our suitability and utility, we show up the most obstinate rigidity and refuse to be playfully open to them…
Let us be all liberal with life’s randomization and welcome it with open arms and receptive consciousness… and then, enjoy…!
In contemporary socio-cultural milieus, where an individual sees a plexus of confused, chaotic and conflicted life-living-situation, the mantra of survival and excellence for the young generation is – Just Chill…!
And, the competitiveness, which hits its worst owing to mad-race for instant-self-gratification in a world lived by people many many times more than optimum, leaves no space but to accept that there is no better life-survival formula that the advisory to be a cool head and take a ‘chill-pill’ while always on the hot-wheel of ‘Individual-Formula 1’ race of life…
The two simple ingredients of this chill-pill are –
1. Stop being the reactive-genius and understand the stupidities of your aping-gene. Human design was not made for the contemporary physical as well as socio-cultural milieus as they are many times more complex than what we can handle. Brain is designed to be reactive but modern milieus require that we rein in the reactive mind consciousness. Our strength is in receptive and contemplative mind consciousness, which does not take its decisions in an action-reaction snap-choices….Moreover, aping most surely is good for building societies and cultures but when cultures and societies itself become the chief culprits of most ills and troubles of humanity, the aping-act needs to be put away from action-reaction mode. We are humans now, no more the ape-thing. The aping genes must now be made subject to receptive-contemplative consciousness. It helps in unlearning the cultural mind we all inherit. A de-cultured mind consciousness, in the healthy habit of receptive-contemplative decision-making, shall to a good extent be poised and in harmony with itself.
2. Start accepting that ‘self-worth’ and definition of utility of all enterprises of life – be it career or intimacy, have to be in tune with overall wellness model of your personal life. Wellness is not only about money, comfort, joys, etc. Wellness is a holistic idea and any single attainment of life is worthy and has utility only if it only adds to the holistic wellness in your life. If you strive for big moneys and you get it then it is good only when you have not compromised with your health, relationships and overall with the poise and peace of your mind…
Chill pill is a perspective of mind, which simply has the twin ingredient of – holism and poise. Ideally, these two ingredients should become hallmark of your mind consciousness. Then, you do not have to ‘take’ a chill pill, as chill attitude shall become your way of life…
