BECOME A WITNESS: A GREAT EXERCISE TO BECOME YOUR MIND’S MASTER

 You know, this world is continuously running and revolving. There is not halt in anything on this globe. In whatever phase you are in your life, you can still witness the happenings around you. There is someone who is dying right now, someone is coming to this world, someone is inventing something, someone is travelling, someone is struggling with life, someone is exercising in gym and someone is admitted in hospital, somewhere it is night, somewhere it is day and somewhere it is both day and night. There are people who have just gotten a new job and there are people who got just fired from their jobs. Many people are getting married and many are getting divorced right at this moment. 

See! There is no halt. Everything is happening simultaneously right now as you are doing something or sitting or sleeping or in stress or in joy or whatever. You just have to stop thinking about anything else and start witnessing this great phenomenon around you, you will find yourself a blessed one as you are at a good place and position. 

For instance, when i was standing at a shop waiting for my things to come at the counter, I noticed that there are people coming from labour work with their small kids and one of the women was carrying only few months baby, people sitting outside of their home watching their babies, for any mis-happenings, who are playing in the streets, people at shop working hard to earn for their family, people on vehicles either going or coming from their work. This is just a normal example, you may witness greater exemplary situations, which can teach you life lessons as are standing there observing all of them. The time is same, but not for people. It differs a lot for all the people i observed in the street. Different lives are in action. 

                                 

And i found this as a great therapy for our mind which is always having unnecessary thoughts and creating problems without having actual problems. Just standing somewhere and noticing all the happenings, you will instantly realise that you have a much better life than all the people out there and there is no reason wasting it by comparing it to others and creating unnecessary thought patterns which are never ending and constantly connecting one thing to another thus making a false story, which takes you in badly. 

                               

Whenever you feel sad or frustrated, just go to any place; market or whatever, there you will see the quality of life you are living. In the crowd of people, you will realise that you are the one who is having many more reasons to be happy than thousands of people. 

This all comes when you start witnessing. When you become a witness, your mind starts fighting because it has never had such a consciousness. It has been your master for such a long time, but now it’s your turn to become your mind’s master and that’s possible by being a witness of everything, just a witness and everything changes. 

This witnessing is not only about external events, rather it is more about internal thought process. Whenever we are out of our mind, we need to witness it. We need to see what it is doing without our permission. What it is thinking again and again. But, it all stops when we stand behind and see everything with full consciousness. This may not be an easy thing to adapt but it is positive and everyone can do it.
