THE DESERT OF DESIRE!

Desert of desire! Perhaps you think sea must have been used,but I will clarify.Desire to live and all other philosophical nominations are excluded here,just materialism and thoughts are included here.

Pure & contiguous thoughts are of sages,they give you no wages whereas pure but non contiguous ones give you.Well as an adolescent we don't care about wages.So why the word “desire” be used for these innocent youthful individuals.

Adolescence is a period where curiosity accompanied with excitement leads you to your hell or heaven.So here there is a desert where if you are in an oasis i.e filled with proper thoughts,efforts and curiosity you live good,but the others get soaked up in the hot sun into the sands.

Have you ever seen a mirage in sea?
But deserts they are full of it.
They are enough to pull you out of your path to get to the oasis.

Got it!
That is hot!Really!

Pure thoughts?
How can we think pure?
May be some filter is needed!

Well by pure I mean thoughts that are good for all.

You could have thought-why not simply say positive thoughts?

Well positivity comes with a antonym that's way beyond the greatest minds.

Let me give an example.

You and your friends are in a group project.Suppose you are overseeing the task and in the course of attaining perfection you want something to be done your way.
But there's a bit of rebuttal from other members.

You may say they think like electrons,but from their frame of reference you may be a complete anion.

So here the concept of good thoughts come in,where you talk upon all consequences and develop a general idea or experiment with selected ones and choose the best.That is why it is as it is said.

And also word 'pure' creates images of waterfalls,flying birds,trees,soothing breeze and more of like heaven constructing a peaceful mind.

So used it.

Now what about the contiguous and non contiguous nature of these thoughts.

You are thinking about reading Chemistry the next moment you are thinking about that funny scene of your favourite show.

Studies show that in our thought palace around 60,000 thoughts each of different type are born daily.
Too much population!

So if they come in a systematic manner then you are nothing less than a sage.

Some may argue that sort of thought process could help solve problems.
Go and ask one of them,you'll know how difficult it is to cope with such thoughts in the world.

So now it's clear that you are having the ability to solve variety of problems and get your best.

Where does desire fill in?

It is the desire that controls most of our thought process so if we can rule over it we can rule over our mind and be at our best.

Read these three quotes-

1.The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.
- William Morris

2.We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

3.Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality.
- Nikos Kazantzakis
(does not take your eyes out!)

The first one is well understood but how to do that?

How can I have a genuine interest in History class?How can I have a genuine interest in food I don't like?
How can I have this over things not done in my way?

Well our Sanskrit teacher Bharati sir said,"You do your own work,other things of yours would be taken care of -the way they are needed to be."

You do your work in time,you'll get good marks.

Now about developing genuine interest the third quote comes as a relief.

Change your perception.

Rather than complaining use history to increase your G.K.

Rather than thinking of food you don't like,think of your mother or anyone else who had cooked it for you.Who else would take such a burden unless you pay them.See the article on independence,to know more.

Do things in the way you develop the good thoughts.

Now with the 2nd quote.

You plan to get a smartphone today.But the budget isn't enough.
Rather than fighting with parents If you find a way out.

Let's say you think-You couldn't buy it.
Ask yourself should you?
The answer may be yes manytimes.
But some no's may be there which you are ignoring.Think over those no's.
Think what you'll do with smartphone.
Boast off?That is not who you are?
Then when you think deep you get to know what and when you really need.

Thus you resist.This gives you strength.You say when I can manage without that.I can do anything.I am the best-the thought that fires you up is there.

So go take off.
