A THOUGHT ON OUR THINKING

Birds flying in the sky & thoughts flowing in the brain are often directionless. While travelling through the mystic land of thoughts, I have realised that ultimately our mind rules us. I believe that thinking is manifestation of the subtle inputs which our subconscious mind receives. We never create a thought but we generate it. The effects of any event can be gradual or spontaneous. Thoughts of unknown origin are nothing but the gradual effect of any event which our mind has witnessed. Subconsciously our brain witnesses many events which our conscious brain refuses to acknowledge.
Subconscious exposure to any evil event is the input for an evil thought. As Swami Vivekananda puts it "Be careful about what you think because your thoughts become your action". The greatest test of mental strength is the resistance which our brain can apply to such an evil exposure. While exposure to any event may not be in voluntary control but the thought generation thereafter is definitely the indicator of our mental strength. The development of any ideology is nothing but consolidation of particular set of thoughts in our mind. When the ideology is consolidated beyond a point, the rational approach to any thought takes a backseat. Thinking is a two sided sword. While thinking with open mind can act as auto-correction mechanism, similarly, vice versa can create an havoc. Closed minded ideologies have often created bloodsheds & pogroms.
To consolidate any set of thoughts without questioning its bonafides can often create irrational events. At the same time, being swayed away by any thought can make one indecisive & incompetent. The main thing is to strike a balance between both & ultimately act in accordance with the society. The ultimate goal of human race is to be HUMANS 1st.
I rest my opinion for people to decide their thoughts & act accordingly.
