POST 1- I THINK, THEREFORE I EXIST

The Mission “Cogito Ergo Sum”—I THINK, THEREFORE I EXIST.

You want a revolution?? I am the one who’ll make you witness. I say, will you follow me till there?? Can you handle me?? You crave and I crave like you. If I am not left to guide you, will you survive on the spares which I’ll leave as seeds in your holy brains????

This is an effort to build your mind and make your lives meaningful.

The society is split into different nations, races, religions and political groups. The belief that all these fragments are really separate can be seen as the essential reason for the present series of social, ecological and cultural crises. It has alienated us from nature and from our fellow human beings. It has brought grossly unjust ever rising wave of violence in which life has often become physically and mentally unhealthy.

Our tendency to divide the perceived world into individual and separate things and to experience ourselves as isolated egos in this world is seen as an illusion that comes from our measuring and categorizing mentality. It is called avidya, or ignorance, and is seen as a state of disturbed mind which has to be overcome.

When the mind is disturbed, the multiplicity of things is produced, but when the mind is quieted, the multiplicity of things disappear.

This is an effort to quiet the mind. An effort to LIBERATE.

When you liberate your willpower, you become the master of your own personal world. There is no hurdle too high for you to overcome. There is no challenge too tough for you to surmount and no crises too hot to cool down. LIBERATE….

This will be a series of articles through which we’ll discuss the causes of human misery and the solutions to them. Obviously for this we’ll have to look into a lot of things. We’ll discuss everything from religions to science, from suffering to nirvana. I’ll use my own thoughts combined with the thoughts and writings of many great persons in this world which have helped me form my thoughts. I’ll use everything that helps in the growth of the mind.

Here I’ll be truthful, unafraid and unmerciful.
many things which I write may hurt many but I’ll speak the truth whatever the consequences are and I’ll not say anything that has no logic. I’ll provide you with proofs if you want.

I’ll like to make some things very clear if you want to really learn.

Suppose that you join a course for mathematics which is about some things that you haven’t studied before. And suppose that on your first day the teacher asks you some question which is based on a formula that you have never seen in your life before. What will be your answer???
You’ll surely say that how could you tell as this is your first day at the class.
But if I ask your any question like why a human is behaving a certain way, in a certain situation Or any question like how a particular thing is effecting anybody’s life, you’ll pick up your pen and will start filling pages on that and would never say that you can’t tell as this is your first day. You’ll start working on the preconceived notions that you accept as facts.

Explaining this in another way, i can say that how can you pour more coffee in a cup that is already full. You’ll have to empty your cup first to understand properly.

You can ask me any question if u have regarding any issue or anything that you can’t understand at missionmind@gmail.com

The site will be updated regularly.

"all the faults start when we start considering ourselves as isolated egos", but isn't it the reality?
aren't we isolated egos?
there are so many conflicts, how difficult it has become to be in a group, and you are saying that we have to coalesce,how is it possible?

then again you write,"When you liberate your willpower, you become the master of your own personal world. There is no hurdle too high for you to overcome." because it is all about personal things.the war is always personal.how can you ignore that every person is different from another, every one has different notions about different things and sometimes the best way to avoid conflict is not by teaming up but by treading different paths, parting ways?
there is always a streak of individuality which cannot be curbed. the world would be so good to live in if we all curb our individuality and stop visualising ourselves as isolated egos but sadly that is not possible, that is impractical, that is not human nature.
