GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #208

What’s the main function of our Mind or Brain?

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 #207‘.

Good Morning Friends,

The main function of our Mind is to record,
And when asked for or otherwise to recall;
Most often it does it of its own accord,
And it does for all things rare or banal.
The fact is that although it is much maligned,
It supports the progression of the mankind.

Its functioning ensures our very survival,
With its ability to reproduce data that’s stored;
All other artificial means to it are no rival,
Its suggestions shouldn’t normally be ignored.
It never sleeps even when we sleep,
It generally looks after its own upkeep.

Then, what are the things that make it go wrong?
One is that it has to be kept from wandering,
The other is that our heart makes it less strong,
And many times don’t listen to mind’s pondering.
Wandering Mind is really out of control,
It can go at great speed but miss the goal.

Being ruled by heart is not such a bad thing,
Our Mind doesn’t mind when it is ignored;
But we have to somehow keep it from wandering,
Its wantonly roaming we can really ill afford.
The moment we learn to control our Mind,
Life’s true pleasures we can easily find.

It is to record and recall and be under our control.

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.
