Acquainted with the tricks and gimmicks,
Assuring the comeback to be cherished...
With a purpose so fragile,
Paving out the way for the journey to be perished...Snoozing the alarm for another few minutes, choosing to delay the journey for another few runs (by the clock's hand),somehow managed to put my ass out of the most luxurious half of the heaven(as the bed seems early in the morning).With the toothbrush showcasing it's lazy dance moves over the surface of the teeth... Memories revealing the cunning deeds of the mind starts getting vivid followed by arrival of the shine glittering in the eyes out of nowhere with an urge to defeat the inherent monster(mind) for good....
Moving into the battlefield (as the study room usually seems),I pulled the only chair in the room to rest my butts and thereby showcase pure wits and warriorship that I presumed to possess and thus defeat the monster out in no time.
P.S : To win any battle or even to showcase competency (be it mental,spiritual or physical),always do remember that the purpose for the battle along with a precise planning and that too with an art of perfect execution are the pre-requisites that needs to be earned without which a warrior lacks his armour of defense.
Let's move on to the story and see what happens to the one who moved on to the battlefield with checking on the pre-requisites....
So now avoiding the pre-requisites,I jumped into the battlefield (assuming that I am well armoured).Out of nowhere I felt like starting the battle post meditation and thus without wasting time(that too I presumed)....
Crossed my legs,clasped my fingers ,spine being comfortably erect, quickly trying to hold sense of my breathing pattern(following the prescription of Baba Ramdev)... and here I go...Taking three sets of deep breaths followed by Aaaaauuummmmm.....aaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm(each time trying to indulge in it deeper with a bonus achievement of being an alarm clock for my neighbors)....silence prevailed(again as prescribed by pro kapalvati swami ji).
Concentrating on my breaths and again(mistakenly) presuming myself to be a skilled diver ,tried to dive into the pool of my thoughts running through my mind with an intention to troubleshoot the unwanted thoughts and thus defeat the monster at the first stage itself.
First few seconds hardly passed and whhhhoooooaaaaaa....whhhhhoooooooaaaaaaaa...I attained enlightenment to realise that out of overconfidence from nothing ,I pissed myself off where I made a mess of my mind,a mind that I was about to win and was still a few moments ago was now diving into fantasies of being the millionaire with a Lamborghini, enjoying in the private island,with ladies serving me with the most mouthwatering delicacies and it went on...never came back to the poor earth on that very sunny day....
So now with another fine day wasted , it's your job to strike out whether it was me intentionally who was anyway heading nowhere (as I lacked the prerequisites) choosed to start the battle post meditation or again there was an invisible yet omnipresent monster(whom I dreamt of defeating) played it's part adding strains of confused textures to the already pale faced man without purpose.
