PEACE OF MIND

VERSUS

TENSION

“ Whenever there is a conflict, the tension arises and the ego exists; when there is no conflict, the tension disappears and the ego disappears. Ego is not a thing – it is just a tension” OSHO.

A new born child comes into this World with a mind which is like a new Blank computer without any programs. After birth a child is labeled with a name by the parents – the name is for the biological body but certainly not for the real self in the child which is the “I’, the spirit, the soul or the ‘Atma” we may call it. The child is identified by the body only and he too responds accordingly. The biological body of the child is just a ‘birth day suit of the ‘SELF’ within the body. The “SELF” is obliged to respond to the given name against his WILL – this is the first stage the tension arises in the child which gives rise to the ego. Since the child has to respond to the given name , he gets identified by the said name and for any good or bad reasons the child feels offended if some thing against his desire happens. During the life at Home he is called by one name, at school by some roll number, in hospital as a patient, among relatives and friends by some other title as brother, friend, uncle, father etc as per the age develops the names go on changing as husband or wife etc this causes confusion in his mind as to who he actually is. Then during life time he has to deal with different people at different levels and there arises difference of opinions between him viz-a-viz others, this gives rise to conflicts on account of ideas or for the use of language and all that gives rise to tensions one after the other and the child who is now a developed man/woman feels agitated since the peace of mind with which he/she was born is no more. Such a tension gives rise to so many body-mind problems psychosomatic and the person feels disgusted and frustrated in life. The priests and politicians too to his problems on the basis of some codified documents alleged as religious commands and/or statuary laws which are all man made who is liable to err and the person is helpless to follow his own inner voice or intuition and he is bound to compromise to the situation which further disturbs his inherent peace of mind and the person feels a reck.

The only solution and the remedy for the person is to meditate – to go introvert, regress with awareness in self interest to live in the present as advised by OSHO and supported by PLATO and his plotonism philosoohy by which every thing after taking rounds returns to its centre. Therefore, the tense modern man too can return to his original peace of mind by practicing meditation and by Yoga since according to PLATO healthy mind resides in healthy body- so meditate, Laugh, Dance and Romance for happy and healthy life which is a gift of GOD, given to you only once in the present biological body.

This is as per my humble understanding which I share with my readers, in case they may be benefited in life. by the blessings of OSHO. Aamin.
