Do you know you?

Our life is just what mind it tells our life is and becomes just what our mind makes it for us. Few people go deep enough in their soul to realize in its entire fullness - an amazing gift that enables them to pursue a lifetime of accomplishment. A marvelous gift of power. Nature has endowed us with the power to think, to believe, to create, to imagine, to choose, to feel, to aspire and to achieve!

Our knowledge based approaches revolve around the facts and analysis of facts as one ( or a team) is capable of doing. We know that, we always do not deal with the life with facts based decisions. We may call it intuition or gut feeling, but we know the other factors influence our decisions. The awareness and being one with the target is a fine blend of mental and spiritual capabilities of human being. Invariably, and much without our knowledge, in the process of awareness our subconscious also takes due part. It is a total inventory of facts specifically related to the target in our mind. We also call it as SWOT.

As we have seen earlier, normally people’s brain shut out information or stimuli that experience has shown as irrelevant to its needs, but subconscious is more open to such stimuli from surrounding environment. This helps it to go beyond the normal knowledge invenory to think and decide about any thing – something like self awareness. It can have a broader or total picture than conscious mind can paint. When the stakes are high and they are detrimental, somebody wants himself to throw in fully – this is THE way to decide – way out of self awareness. Such exercises prepare a person fully, leaving no trace of weakness ( within the available knowledge base with the individual’s subconscious mind and memory). [One of my friend reminded me a character of Sanjay Dutta in “Lage Raho Munnabhai”, where Sanjay impersonates Gandhiji only to the extent the knowledge he has and not beyond that. ] However, it is essential to remember that for that person it is THE total picture.

Examples about such self awareness are ample around us.

This is not a out of this world way or that only some people are gifted with such abilities. Each of us need to start using our brain circuitry to train it, use it , believe in it and live with it. Why Gandhiji was able to use and win with a concept like “Satygraha and Ahinsa”, why Sachin Tendulkar has remarkable performance when usually people of his class retire? Why Sunita Williams sustained herself in spacecraft for about six months?

Again it is necessary to remember that these people are know to be better after we realized their super powers, before that they were known to be very normal and ordinary people. What is important is that these people made them great with efforts, they acquired the skills to be great and anybody us can acquire such skills to be more successful
