Fluidity of Want.....

This week there was a go-live at work. And when things didn't go well, I had to stay awake for a couple of nights. And guess what? I wanted to sleep all the while. I prayed for the issues to get solved so that I can go to sleep. Even after I got some sleep the next day, I felt of sleeping on time later.

I began to wonder, why I was not able to sleep the previous month, when I was so conscious about getting some good sleep. And that's where the key lies..... being conscious of sleeping. The more conscious I got, the more insomniac I became. And this week, when I had work as priority on my mind, I wasn't conscious that I need to sleep; and thus, I slept. Of-course, there is the tiredness factor attached to. But I think consciousness is the main culprit.

Want.... is as fluid as water. The more we try to hold it hard, the quicker it flows out of our palms. The consciousness that it will flow out will actually make us clench our fist to hold it hard; and thereby we lose our want. So, as long as we are careful enough (make a crest so that the water stays in your hand), and keep our palm open, the water remains with us till we quench our thirst with it. Now, stop arguing about the natural process of evaporation!!!!
