I

 In my ignorance, I am sure that I am eternally "I" .

This conviction is rooted in emotionally charged memory ...Aldous Huxley

Patanjali in YogaSutra talks of 5 Vrttis - or forms of mental pertubrations

that disturb our mental serenity

One of them is memory - 

Memory stores the past and 

invokes along with it the emotions!

Now only when the memory is emptied 

can I escape from the sense of my water-tight  separateness! ....St.John of the Cross!

Vrttis - cause delineation of myself from Self - separateness

segmentation of me from other beings - Dividing -Dividing -Dividing

Now how to empty mind? - only by total awareness 

at least for a moment or two! 

I am reminded of the "Mind the Gap" article by Martin Crowe, the famous Cricket Player

"The gap between the balls - 30 sec time span 

between the last ball and when the next ball is alive

is most important period in batsman's innings" 

Oh my God! what a revelation!

Awareness is -  not what you do - but what you do in between what you do

Awareness is neither thought nor actions

Awareness is when we suspend our judgments , values and overthinking

Awareness is stillness

Awareness is what opens our way to understanding!
