Currents of Time

To assume that one might finally solve the 'puzzle' of perception of life is foolish. Existence brings in thoughts. it is only we who become aware of thoughts to a massive extent, try to change them (in order to get a sense of control or permanence or perfection) and realize that they can't be decoded beyond a certain point  - something that still remains out of control, uncertain and unstoppable. Currents of thoughts flow through the inner space of consciousness - these currents constitute our mind. Currents have feelings, emotions, intellect and perceptions of body, space, and time. Fundamentally, currents (or thoughts) generate a notion of 'Time'. Time may be cyclic/ spiral (as a pattern) or maybe linear as a factual history having a past, present and future. Either way, the currents continue to penetrate us and leave an impact. We remain affected - with joys and sorrow - all indicating moments of involvement and attachments to thoughts. Whatever we do, no matter what we think or imagine, thoughts continue to be generated and flow.

Existence forces such immersion in thoughts - fundamental being that one day, it is all going to end - with it, our attachments to our definition of life. We will have to embrace all thoughts - frightening at times, encouraging at other times -  every time forcing us to take decisions and live the cycle of patterns we generate for ourselves. Will it matter what we do tomorrow? Will it matter, what we did yesterday? We may believe that the present moment is the reality, but the past and the future generates the meaning of the present. The journey of knowing is endless. And the sooner we know that destinations are mere intervals, the decision as to choose an appropriate pace of discovery might be taken appropriately.

I think, we may encounter the following questions along the way -

What is your idea of progress? What do you mean by slow progress or a faster progress?

Why are you concerned about changing the situation or a context or a person?

Why do you aim to be perfect?

Why can't you just leave things as they are?

Why do you remain involved in taking decisions? Why do you decide? What do you decide?

If you understand above responses, then why do you yet decide to get married to someone?

Why do you feel resistance to change things? What is this resistance?

Can you just exist for the sake of it? Or are you always compelled to prove a point and compelled to know what you are doing and what are the repercussions?

Difficult questions. No straight answers.
