Our minds are meticulously made, marvelous yet malicious medley
of memories. It’s the most constructive and destructive depending on how we use
it. But above all it is an ocean of ongoing knowledge which must overflow and
cause tsunami of whatever words and wisdom we have won.
“But why, why can’t I have the whole chocolate alone, mom?”
“Because darling, if you share, they too will and give you another different
variety of chocolate.”
Yes that is it, we need to share for a selfish motive- to
double our knowledge and, in turn double theirs too.
To actually develop our mind, we needn’t any books, we need
interaction, where we not always reflect our regard but also collect their
creativity. We today need to expose ourselves to newer philosophies of others
and in turn tell our understanding about it. We need a well formed mind not
only a well educated mind which knows how to deal with situations in life. I
don’t mean to say education is less important but to be able to make best use
of it, understanding what the book says is just not enough so we have to go
beyond it, experiment, observe, listen and talk.
Most of us these days run behind marks and grades. One can
get 99 percent by reading from books writing and practicing a hundred times but
that 1 percent lies in someone else’s mind which you had not tried to learn
about.
Now tell me this, what’s
the use of an empty match box? You need to light a candle and you don’t have a
match stick, so you go and ask someone, that person says yes and gives it to
you. And you light the candle. That’s how people should be in life, ready to
help and give. Ready to ignite and brighten someone’s life.
Because however much you learn if you don’t pass it on your learning
is of no value to the world. Be it a form of art, moral values, sport or of
course academics. Let your mind free like a peace less, place less pigeon who
flies here and there and scatters all the seeds of sentiments and sanity and
then again eats the fruit of wisdom.
Let your mind spread like fire and burn all folly because the
mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.
