Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks.

Thats a line from clocks, a song in A Rush of Blood To the Head album by Coldplay. After listening to parachutes i am now trying their second album release. Unlike the first one , there is a lot of stress on piano in this album. Parachutes has more use of guitar. 'The Scientist' is my new favorite ballad from their second album. Mellifluous lyrics, a rhythm that sinks in your heart, completely beautiful composition. Like their first album this one also takes some time to sink in, but once it does thats all you want to listen..

Conclusion is a boring stimuli and is a cause of boredom drving one away from 'LIFE'
Confusion, on the other hand, points towards mystery, the magic of 'LIFE', something we are not sure of. That becomes a cause for life, a hunting entity, something to look around to decode.
Feel lucky if you are in confusion for that is indicator of you being 'LIVELY'.

Good Luck

Thats a wonderful argument!

We can also view this way:

Confusion is the sign of Ignorance, and Ignorance causes the troubles.

Having a Conclusion, which is of the Highest order, will definitely lead to Never ending happiness, and is beyond the average humans comprehension.

Hence try to long for getting the conclusion on everything, rather than long ofr getting confused.

by the way, magic of life is driven by the DESIRE, the desire to enjoy the creation, rather than anything else. once the desire goes off, nothing is there to long for. At that time, even the LIFE becomes boring, no matter how much you are confused.

.."Confusion is the sign of Ignorance, and Ignorance causes the troubles.".........

Hi Anonymous ...

The existence surrounding us, that we live in here, is easily perceived to be a universal set of innumerable entities (known and unknown) and about this all of us can agree without argument. These entities are sometime within our reach on earth itself and out of reach in ocean, on high Himalaya, deep in forests, space etc etc. In this universal set of surrounding it is hard to have a consciousness that is fully exposed to each and every bit of it. One is, therefore, compelled to be ignorant of many and one should not be ashamed of it. Beside this we have limitations on part of our perceptions that limit our first hand experience of the surrounding.

You see, we have a limited range of audible and visible frequency spectrum observable to us. We are compelled to be ignorant of frequencies below 20Hz and above 20KHz.

Confusion many times is manifestation of our perceptional illusion and sometimes disarrayed thought pattern. And this somehow plays as an stimulous to the intelligence of the human mind to try to search for the answer, to uncover, to conclude.

I, however, do not demean the conclusive state of human mind. It, in fact, serves as relaxant when mind does not think too much.

When concluded, dont worry, relax Man.

As far as highest and lowest state of the mind is concerned it can be a debate point and is also relative.
Any way good to read your point.

Good luck.

Dear Anonymous,

Since the average human doesnot know the depth and full potential of the oneself and clings to the mean "I" or "limitedness bounded by the physical senses and the sense of Mind due to the ego factor", those who shattered the clutches of bondages of nature, will surely find that self is not limited to a body or mind or for that matter, is not bound by the time and space, and realize that the space and time bound creation is nothing but just a vast cinema, coming from the source, called Universal counciousness.

Of course, you should be knowing by personal experiences of by way of affirmation from someone who knew this even vaguely that there exists this level Universal Counciousness, that is beyond the average human comprehension. Otherwise, its not easy to understand the higher realms of existence, that are beyond the material and mind level.

By the way, I want to point you to the book "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Swami Paramahamsa Yogananda, so that at the end of the book, you will affirm from the bottom of your being that what I said is 100 percent true. There is nothing called miracle in this world, and miracle is the world we use nicely to mask our ignorance, at different levels.

Here is the book online for free:

By the way, here are the acclaims that this boog had gathered from all over the world irrespective of race, religion, nation, sex, caste etc material or mind level differences. Afterall, if there is anything that can touch the very being of every individuality, then, that will not go unnoticed no matter what the external coverings an individual may assume.

YOU SAID BELOW THING:

"You see, we have a limited range of audible and visible frequency spectrum observable to us. We are compelled to be ignorant of frequencies below 20Hz and above 20KHz."

PLEASE READ THE BELOW CONTENT IN THE BELOW LINK from the Book that I said above to read:

You will find that we are limiting ourselves to be the slaves of the material world or senses or the sense of Mind, but when we rise above them, there is nothing that prevents us from getting to conclusion on everything.

http://www.crystalclarity.com/yogananda/chap15.html

In the above link you will find that those aspects of the modern science that you might have found to be available in these times, as being available even 100 years back, where modern wireless technology is not available. An average person depends on the senses too much to live, but those who are enlightened will use the higher faculties to lead day to day life and existing beyond the level of body or mind.

Hope I am not boring but this is what it is.

"......There is nothing called miracle in this world, and miracle is the world we use nicely to mask our ignorance, at different levels. ....."

When somebody is so sure of everything of his surrounding it is indeed incredible. At least I do not know about many things around me. And I do not intend to know about all of them either.

To me miraculous life is very entertaining and rejoicing. To me every next moment is a bundle of miracle and I love that.

I do not claim to be master of everything and I do not wish to read volumes for that. I wish to have my own experiences myself good or bad. I trust that only.

But I sincerely thank you for this debate, although I never wished to debate.

Thank you

and Good luck

Neither do I claim to know literally everything, but atleast I am free from the illusions of the world, where by I only take what is needed from the world, rather than be a slave of the world, and get afflicted by the curcumstances or the previous past.

By the way, even I am writing from my own experiences, rather than mere reading which is nothing but senses based learning. Swami Ramakrishna Paramahamsa Says that:

Knowing by reading is good.
Knowing by listening directly to a person of personal experiences is better.
Knowing by self-experiences is THE BEST.


But hte current state of the average humans in the world is that, they stuck in the material world so much that it does make feel that there is no other than the material level aspects of life. If the person is in this state of self-imposed feeling that there is no other way to escape from the clutches of the material level aspects of life, then, the person would never get any kind of personal experiences, and at the end, will end up incurring huge pan, which will then make the person seek answers beyond the material level.

But, if you read the book, then, you will know that there exists the higher aspects of life, not merely the material level or mind level, that even reading the book itself will give undreamed of personal experiences.

Anyway, when you come to a stage where you hit a deadend in your life, PLEASE REMEBER MY WORDS AND READ THIS BOOK. I am sure that this book will give you a definitive direction to you as it had given to misslions of people irrespective of their race,religion, caste,creed,sex, geography etc differences.

Thankyou AND GOD BLESS YOU.
