Mind is restless

Concentration or focus is probably one of the most fragile intangible things that will ever be known to mankind. Sustaining a thought for a very long time, I guess demands an extra psychological strength than ordinary human beings possess. Building upon that thought I guess holds the key to a lot of greater stuff that we can achieve on a more regular basis. May be not questioning the initial spark as it occurs or not pursuing it due to some or the other reason has become more of a norm.

But who is seeking greatness here. This is an answer to the horde of thoughts that just keeps flooding the head..clearly a reflection of an untamed, undisciplined mind, that either does not know how to stay fixed on a particular thought or more importantly is not sure of what that thought is? May be this is the case with most of us. This uncertaininty..not being sure of what is needed is linked to the restlesness factor.

People who are committed to certain tasks in their lives, beyond work..do they ever feel the vacuum which has been bothering me? Could it just be the perusal of a particular task in a disciplined manner that could fill this vacuum? May be it could or may be it again is just a frivuolous question, which is a resultant of the restlessness or the uncertainity.

I am being cautious of the fact that I question each and every notion that is striking me, to ensure that may be it could be true that all of this is just crap and an outcome of....yes, not being sure, or simply put restless. 'All I want is to be happy' said Agastya Sen. A statement which will strike a chord with may be the entire human race, has remained with me for so many years now, but like all of us I do not know if I will ever be able to figure out, that what exactly is going to make me truly and eternally happy.

How can happiness be a permanent state of mind? Calmness of mind seems to be directly linked to the state of hapiness. The word calm sounds so peaceful in its pronunciation. I can only imagine , what it will be like in real.
