Continuum

[This is my first piece in Writers.Com]
All of us have a life to live! This writer may inadvertently be complicating matters. But patient reader that you are, dear reader, you would realise as you go on, that I am seeking to simplify our living by asking you to meditate with me a single thought. THERE IS NOTHING TO DO. Well, its that simple. We are free. Free to do or not to do, with no doing impinging on our freedom.
Dear reader, I believe that all our problems are in effect experienced by us by the restlessness of our mind. If we can get our mind to be restful, hey presto, all our problems shall vanish. So the question of all question is, how do we make our mind restful. I would like to share a technique with you.
All you have to do, to make your mind restful, is to talk to yourself. Well, not just in bits and pieces, which we do anyway, filled up, mostly, with fantasies. No, we have to seek, without any effort, to simply keep talking to ourself without a break. The most amazing thing is that whenever we are at it, this talking to ourself (silently, of course) we right away touch the ultimate. It is not that you talk and talk for ages and then you get some results. The moment you start talking to yourself till the moment there is a break, even if it was only a minute, you have actually touched eternity. You will before long realise that there is nothing else to do except talk to yourself (can anything be easier and more effortless?) that you seek to talk without there ever being a break.
I have called this process CONTINUUM. The key points to note are that we should speak using impeccable language. The language should be calm and soothing. You will realise too, before long, that CONTINUUM helps you to become detached. You know that you can simply be a witness to all that is going on and be in a grandstand watching the spectacle of life. And greatest of all, your life starts becoming spontaneous.
I end here not because I do not have more to write but because I think my dear reader should soak in what I have written (if he finds it sensible, of course) and favour me with a feedback. Then, we can continue.
