An Ordered Chaos!

-

 The state of transitioning is probably the best and at the same time most chaotic state, so many things are ongoing, every single entity or thing involved has certain variables attached to it, and thanks to those variables the number of possible outcomes becomes high! Things are a little difficult at the start, difficulties reach their peek in terms of levels and dimensions, this is where the chaos is at its highest level, each and every entity having the maximum entropy (entropy is a thermodynamics concept, defining the degree of disorder), and then there comes a downfall in disorder, and things start falling into place, leading to a state of Negentropy or a state of complete order, like a solar system! 

We all strive for the state of negentropy,  a place everything is defined, chaos is almost non-existent, at the same time, we also forget that the negentropy will eventually lead to dullness, and make everything mechanical, effectively loosing the essence of life. Still we strive for it the hardest! Reason being, we as humans are not very comfortable with chaos. We inherently look for ordered things, have a perception that we enjoy more when things are in an certain defined order, or non-chaotic. 

Now why am i pondering on these things? Well, am also in a state of transition. A transition from a safe place called home to creating a new home for myself. A transition from safeguarded environment, to a an open one. As the freedom increases, the entropy increases, and the strive for order becomes stronger. As far as i am considered, i always felt that i work better in the chaos. More the chaos, higher is my efficiency. But when the same thing hits the personal space, things go haywire! Am trying to figure out a middle ground, or if i can say am looking for that Ordered Chaos, that helps me keep my efficiency on a higher side, and at the same time, a sense of order is also in place. Someone might say, "Ordered Chaos" is an oxymoron, but i think, there is always a certain order in anything, even in the chaos as well. It could just be at a very low level, but everything around has some order, just that they are not aligned with our sense of order!

You Are More Than the Mind

 'The real "you" is different from those thoughts. You are reacting to every thought that visits your mind. By reacting to all of them, you are paying attention to your thoughts and feeding them, allowing them to exist. That is how a troubled mind creates a chaotic world.' This is an excerpt from a book am reading. A book which happens to be a fiction, and i didn't expect to read such a deep line in that one. It made me think, ponder upon even after days of reading the same. This is something that i learnt during Vipassana. My understanding of this is "Things keep on happening around you, whether they are good, bad or negative positive for you, completely depends on how your brain processes it, which is again dependent on what have you fed it in terms of thoughts and inputs (like reading, watching, etc).  They say, we create a version of reality in our mind, which is a product of actual happenings, our thoughts/ideas and our reactions to them. What you pay at...

An year of Metamorphosis!

-
Since the last post, life has been overhauled. It's been six months, and life is completely different now. A lot has happened in these six months, and I cannot relate to myself anymore. The person I was before April and the person I am now are two completely different human beings! Definitely, I have become more boring than earlier.  This year has been the year of firsts! Many things happened for the first time with me, and I did many new things.  Getting fired Vipassana Living in negative temperatures with basic means  Not planning anything  Noble silence for 9 days (Trust me the best time of life) Living without a phone, internet, and family  Lived at an altitude of 3500+ mtrs from sea level  Rushed mom to emergency for cardiac care Went on a trip with my Angel Welcomed a baby girl in the family. The first daughter after me! When she was born, no one in the family knew what rituals we had for a baby girl, as the ones who did all of them when I was born ar...

Tranquility with Tinyminy!

It has been more than 5 months that i wrote something, and that's true for not only this place but in general, I haven't written anything. Probably the longest i have stayed without writing. And am still sane. Wow, something to be really proud of. Guess the credit goes to two things: Another 10 day Vipassana course  My 9 month old niece. She is a saviour, as these days, most of my time goes to her playful antics.  I did my second "10 day course of Vipassana". While i was looking forward to the peace that noble silence brings, to my surprise, i was asked to do " Seva " when i joined. The seniors or the more experienced people in this field told me, that it is great that i was able to do Seva in my second course itself, however, somewhere i felt like a scapegoat. Nevertheless, the experience was amazing in more than one way!  Though i missed the complete " Noble Silence ", (when you do Seva , participants can reach out to you, for any kind of inconve...
