Gymnastics Of Attention

The title of this passage Gymnastics of Attention written by Menka Sanghavi drew my attention. Reading this passage drew my attention. A question arose in my mind: Do I pay full and undivided attention to what is going on in my mind? Am I aware of where my mind is when I make choices? Am I mindful and aware of me making my choices? This is an important question for me to ask. This question makes me aware of where is my mind? Is it fully present in the present moment or wandering in different directions? When I am awake and aware of my mind I become centered and fully present. In these moments my mind is clear, free from the past that is already gone and free from the future that is yet to come. I have learned the significance of living in the present and not in the past or in the future. I know this is the right and wise way of living. Living this way makes my mind free from the grip of the past and the future. I flow in the river of self-consciousness which leads me to the unitive consciousness. It is a journey and it helps me live fully and openly. We all are aware of what is happening in our country. We are not the United States of America. We are the Divided States of America. We all need to work together to go from Me to We. We need to build bridges and not walls. It is a call for all of us and we all need to listen to it with an open mind and an open heart. I believe we can do it. The light of awareness shines and we need to walk together, joining hands with each other. This is very important. It is time to remain awake and aware for all of us. And I believe we can do it. Namaste. Jagdish P Dave
