GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #169

Even more important than a clean house….

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was:’Good Morning Message #168‘.

Good morning Friends

Even more important than a house that is clean,
Is to have a clean and uncluttered mind;
If it has to have junk of all the places it has seen,
When you want to, things it won’t be able to find.
God has given us ability to remember and forget,
Use each one not as a liability but as an asset.

Keeping your house in order is a lesser skill,
Than keeping the mind always fit and fine;
The first one with dust and grime can fill,
The latter often to bad memories can resign.
God has given us ability to remember and forget,
Use each one not as a liability but as an asset.

Many a times we swear at our mind for forgetting,
We give vent to enormous anger and frustration,
We find it like a betrayal of mind and upsetting,
And think that we have one that lacks concentration.
God has given us ability to remember and forget,
Use each one not as a liability but as an asset.

One useful trick to train mind to remember and forget,
Is to keep it functioning distinct from the heart;
Let the former be not of the latter a subset,
Let it follow not of the heart but its own flow-chart.
God has given us ability to remember and forget,
Use each one not as a liability but as an asset.

….is to have a clean and uncluttered mind.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.

  1. No Bad Memories – Only Paths to Success or Lessons.

    Else, God would have let us remember Our Past Live too.
    स्मृतियों बोझा धोने से विस्मृति का वरदान बचाये
