✦ Truth without compassion often becomes cruelty. Truth without context often becomes distortion. Truth without relevance often becomes gossip. Inspired by Bhagavad Gita 18.22 ✦ When we no longer find the shocking shocking, we should at least find our own loss of conscience shocking. Inspired by Bhagavad Gita 18.32 ✦ The mind may not light the fire of destructive desire, but it often deludes us into pouring the gasoline of obsessive imagination onto that fire. Inspired by Bhagavad Gita 6.34
Inner awareness through conscious reflection

How does the mind make decisions? The mind is basically like a program So it’s like if you click a, if you visit a website repeatedly suppose somebody visits cricket.com I don’t know if there is a site like that So then as soon as, if you are repeatedly visiting that site then as soon as you type C automatically it will auto-complete and complete that So like that based on the decisions that people have made that we all have made in the past the mind gives us certain promptings and if we are not careful you know if I type C, I want to go to some other site I type C and if I am not attentive C becomes cricket.com and it gets clicked and I go there also So like that if we are not watchful then the mind takes our decisions for us So actually the mind can’t take decisions What the mind can do is, mind can present options to us but certain options it will present much more forcefully So like in computers Do you want to make this as your default browser? So sometimes what happens is by default, so sometimes default option is yes and then there is no or skip I will decide this later But in some cases, some cases default option may be no some cases default option may be yes So what happens is, in the case of the mind based on the patterns that we think based on the way we have decided in the past based on the way we have acted in certain cases, in certain decisions the default option becomes yes So if I don’t think about it, it gets clicked like if you have auto-update on your computer then another computer will auto-update in next 30 seconds So now, I have to consciously stop it before 30 seconds otherwise it will get auto-updated So like that, some decisions the mind seems to take automatically But it’s not taking automatically It is taking based on the way we have acted in the past So if we don’t want to act the same way then we have to consciously pause Stop that, no, not yes Yes is the default option but I want to click the no option and that way we can change our decisions Does that make sense to you? Thank you for the nice question
