Emotions are deep. We, normal human beings, are mostly unaware of their depth. Even the so-called “stable” people are some times taken aback when they feel the depth of emotions.
What we might know is that these emotions exist. Sometimes even the existence of a certain emotion within us might come us a surprise. Being aware that there are emotions that exist within us is sometimes termed as “knowing self”. But do we know the complete depths to which they exist? I am afraid not.
We live in a world of rationale and logic. Whatever happens we try to assign a why to it. Answer the self-inspired question. Slot it into something comfortable in our mind and get on with the next moment.
We are fooling ourselves. The world we see is rationale and logic. The world is not all rationale and logic. What we see, we try to assign rationale and logic. The world we see is rationale and logic.
What I know is nothing. What I don’t know is more than what I know. And a combination of this is what forms the World. I am not getting into issues of control and action here.
Being aware of this truth helps me control and act in a humane way. Is this the ultimate truth or is there something else? I don’t know. If I have to know I will know. I am comfortable with this thought. It brings immense peace to my being.
I am aware that there are depths to my emotions that are unknown to me. There will be situations in life when those depths are touched. That’s when the unknown enters the known for an instant. It’s a certain delicate moment of our being when we are confronted with the depth which was unknown hitherto.
Sometimes, which is most of the times, I don’t want to do anything about the newly discovered part of me. There are a few rare moments when I have made the decision to explore it. The exploration is a journey. The journey doesn’t promise any benefits. What is a benefit?! The journey makes me more aware. I am more than what I was before the journey.The journey doesn’t bridge the gap between known and unknown. It cannot happen through such conscious decisions. Being aware & living are extremely powerful states of mind. And boundless too.
Awareness is the Particles of Light that Lights its own path.
Nice reflections. We will never know all about ourselves, but it is true that we can choose to explore. It can only create a higher being. We MUST be comfortable with not knowing a WHY as you stated. I believe in that fully. There does not need to be a why, only an acknowledgement and acceptance.Also humans must do away with guilt over their feelings. No one should ever feel guilty or have to justify their feelings. They are what they are – and they are yours to own.

Arjuna: Read it first!
Ganesh: Very true!
good thoughts adi… first time here… u mentioned being aware and living are powerful states of mind… ture… but being aware of what?? and living for what??… these are questions that would make you explore further..
Karthik:
Aware of ourselves.
Living is boundless.
Asking questions and answering them is one way to explore, the other is to simply explore.
