We human beings strive to transform our lives to a happier, richer and fulfilling existence. Each one of us have different measures of the thought to achieve higher or better satisfaction than the existing one. After achieving the quantum of improvement originally expected, we always end up aiming for still higher levels! And this craving continues into eternity! There is never a state of complete satisfaction for our achievements. Unless Nature gives a big blow of pain or suffering physically or mentally.

Man is forever chasing to arrive at  that sweeter and fulfilling state of existence perpetually! Are there any of us leading such a life of contentment? Is it really possible to reach such a state? If yes, can one exist in that state of contentment perpetually for the rest of our life?

Has Nature made such a state of existence impossible? Can we travel on this path to achieve contentment?
What does one experience, if he chooses to tread this path? Can we gather courage, to at least give it a try? Where do we start? Do we need a guide to proceed further? Do we have the patience to even think of such an experiment? Does the thought of such an experiment give us jitters? Do we feel like giving it a try? Think, we must, for there is a Gold Mine of richness, satisfaction and contentment which is a perpetual existence in a state of fulfillment and brimming with bliss!!

Why do we feel we should learn more?! Why the feeling of incompleteness, the human beings experience? Yes, it is an experience of feeling incomplete or wanting to become complete! There are numerous such subtle experiences the human Mind goes through! But only an analyzing attitude can identify them as experiences! The very feeling of wanting is an experience! Then, can all the thoughts in reality be categorized as a variety of experiences?!!

One needs total confidence to make this statement! And the confidence can originate only through real experience!!

Consequently, can we state that there are no illusions but only Truth?! This amounts to state that both illusion and actual experience are one and the same!!

Is it possible to experience clarification of the above statement? Yes, it is, and this happens when one experiences it himself!!!
Curiosity is an interesting function the human beings experience! It is the stepping stone to invoke deeper interest to learn more. Curiosity also functions in two ways. One is positive and the other is negative.

Positive curiosity facilitates progress and its negative counterpart retards positive progress. Therefore, one has to be able to differentiate between the two!

It will be surprising if it is stated that both positive and negative curiosity actually aid in truthful progress! And it is a fact which is a Natural phenomenon! But one will come to understand the reality only after going through such an experience!

Ultimately, our practical experiences will turn out to be the true Bible! The Bible of our life! One can truly rely on this Bible of life with complete faith and confidence!!

Any accomplishment is the result of accepting a challenge! Therefore, each one of us must attempt to challenge the routine and unwanted thoughts passing through our Mind! The act of introspection must be taken as a challenge. In other words we must try and apply brakes on the unwanted thoughts and correct them for achieving optimum progress and welfare of others.

All thoughts aimed at self profit will definitely lead to blockage of spontaneous thought flow which in turn destroys the compassionate character of the heart. Once the compassionate character of the heart is subdued, the thought structure created in our Mind becomes rigid leading to hardheartedness.  In other words, Man turns into a selfish and cruel being!
Therefore, the inference that the human Mind is like a monkey is true! A monkey needs to keep itself busy by jumping from one spot to another or plucking or snatching fruits and eatables. Or if its stomach is full, it will be found in the company of another monkey either scratching or getting scratched!! We also find them fighting or chasing one another!

In other words, a monkey is constantly restless! Many of us humans imitate this nature with all joy and pomp!!
We enjoy being restless! And so, Man looses precious time to pursue the study of his own nature!

Studying one's nature  fine tunes the brain and we evolve as caring, responsible and worthy citizens of society.
Can a human being exist without any thoughts?
A person living in society feels compulsive need to be in constant company of someone! Some keep themselves in the company of  family, friends and with colleagues at office.

Some look for company of strangers! Chance meetings on trains, buses, in stores, on streets and in fact somewhere and anywhere!

In these days of the electronic age, chatting through the web, over the phone is a constant phenomena. Hence, Man considers keeping silent without any company as abnormal!!

Teachers and parents keep an eye on such individuals. People in society also avoid people who are silent!!

On analyzing the above behavior of people in society, it becomes clear that most human beings prefer to keep their Mind occupied perpetually!!!

Can the human Mind be made to work overtime? !!
If it is possible to overwork the Mind, then it will be interesting to probe who is getting this thought of overworking the Mind!! Is there a separate entity within us who is the controller of Mind? Or is the Mind itself creating such an illusion?

When the body and Mind are tired, we feel both have to be rested. Does this indicate that there are two sources of thoughts and counter thoughts! Therefore, what is the reality of the function of the human Mind? Can the function of the Mind be deciphered to the complete satisfaction of our curiosity! Can we be truly convinced with any answer? Or do we meekly nod in satisfaction since we are helpless in getting a completely satisfying answer?
