Sometimes I try to imagine the extent of imagination to
which our mind can go. Our mind which plays the role of leading us into our
future can it make us peek into the past too?
Can it see the unseen? Can it actually decipher the maze of life which
rests in front of us? All of these are questions and there are infinite more
but the main problem to all of these questions is the basic lacking of an
answer. Nothing definite exists, you can’t define the mind, not even it’s
starting and I here was pondering upon the question of finding a limit to this
infinite maze of neurons.
So what is the mind actually? Is it just a storage unit,
where you store experiences and use them for reference? Is it just a unit which
defines the working of our bodies? What is it? Is the question at hand. I
define the mind as a playground. I feel that’s what it is. It’s a mental
playground where everything can be real ideas, visions, dreams and even
realities. The mind is the perfect ground for everything starting from a small
idea to the end where it comes to life. We set goals, why? Where? Answer to the
second one is: in the mind but why? Why inside those walls? And what is the
need? Some answer this by saying that mind is the safest fortress where you can
keep everything very close to you and very safe. I keep goals in my mind to
carve a way to reach them, to remind myself my ultimate destiny which I have
chosen for myself. I feel the mind is the locker to all our secrets. It enables
us to do all the things we can actually imagine because it is the one which
helps us imagine. Everything inside the brain is a perspective, a way in which
we want things to be. It is our maker and it is our breaker.
The functions of our brains are enormous and uncountable.
It’s a resource, a raw one at that. All your brain needs is direction and if
it’s the correct one corresponding to the mentality of the society then you’re
a genius else, you will either have to channel it in a way it is acceptable or
prepare yourself to be tagged by the society (or the other minds) as a lunatic.
Another way of living with this miraculous brain is where you’re not accepted
by the society but you’ve found your forte of interest. Here is where a person
makes a choice and balances on a beam which direction will yield to betterment
and this analysis and balancing, this choice is made by one and only, the mind.
What I feel is that the mind should be left free to roam in
the streets, should be let out high into the skies of imagination. It should
never be forced to choose a route to follow. A definite path makes a brain
limited, makes it something like a follower. The mind should never be a
follower. It’s the one thing which makes the world follow its creation ‘an
idea’. The mind creates the idea and the world follows it. We talk about
Mahatma Gandhi. His idea of Non-Violence was generated in his mind and that one
thought made the world follow him. Hence, the mind should be let free from the
chains and definitions of society. What’s good for one might be bad for the
other but this is for the perception to decide. We have this massive amount of
power, right above our bodies at the supreme position, indicating the position
which the nature itself has provided it with.
“There is a very fine line between a mad man and a genius”
and being a genius or a madman is all based on perception. So use those neurons
and generate masterpieces. You might find everything about everything on the net
but your mind is the only place to find nothing which you’ve ever seen or
dreamt of. Your mind is the gateway to a world where you can create a friend
for yourself or split yourself into parts. It is the gateway which allows you
to define life. Everything that happens around you happens for a reason, your
mind can tell you that little secret.
