The Colour Of The MInd

Black...... The absence of light.

Black...... The dawn of the night.

Black..... The beginning of life.

Black..... The shade of magnificience

Black.....The colour of fear.

Black.....The language of fear.

For me its amazing, how this one colour has so many faces to it. On one hand if we say that death is the end of light and the beginning of black, on the other we have black, the darkness from which we are all born.

If the eyes sees colours, then what is the colour of the mind??

Most ideas are born out of a shut mind. A mind that is left to itself no matter whaat the eyes see. You may be present in a situation of highest level of cigor and colour say in a prty, but your mind, your true self has its own thoughts.

The mind, so vulnerable can very easily detach itself from everything around and get into its own shell of thought..... BLACK????

Take a simple example of a little child in a classroom. The child can listen to the teacher and can a;so listen to his/her own self. While originally he/she is instructed to listen to the teacher, the child can easily get carried away by the smallest sound outside the classroom.

A bird chirps, and off goes the mind of the child thinking about it.

What the world may call distraction is the actual soul that lies in all of us. A soul and mind that responds to nature's smallest interaction with us. Thought triggers distraction and the mind triggers thought. Ah! What do we have here now ? Is the mind an entity, a soul

in itself? Is it true that who we are is what the world has made us by captivating our mind??

At this point you can give yourself two parallel lines of thought.

1. What will a mind, allowed to think freely grow into? Afree soul or just a plain human being with raw qualities and emotions.

2.It is ot of ideas from the mind that we have so many inventions all around us today.

Most of which were outcomes of tamed and most of the time educated minds that thought freely.

In either case the important role is that of the mind.

Ok. Just for a moment shut your eyes..... Its easy...... BLACK.

Now with your eyes shut, shut your mind.. Easy ?? Try harder, dont think.... No not yet. You are still thinking about trying hard not to think. BLACK, again.... but is it fully black?

The colour of your mind engulfs the most vivid thoughts, ideas, and colours.... So wahts the colour of your mind now????
