No mind...
...is the theory which the practitioners of Bushido follow.
What is no mind? It is a state of such concentration that for that moment, the consciousness of the self vanishes. It is so immersed with its object, that it becomes one with it!
Now what is this? Nothing but a sufi thought. Being one with the object.
And the strange part is our mind functions at its best when we are doing something which we shouldnt be doing.
Right or wrong is not the point here. Point is when our subconscious knows, when our system knows, when the mind is aware that something is off-track here - it activates all energy centres, and focuses until it doesnt merge with the object and succeeds or it pricks your conscience to such a level, that you leave it and walk away.
Either way the mind succeeds....
Only if we could channelise this power in a more constructive manner, in a more enriching manner...
Only if we could..

Myths and Stories
What are myths?
Stories we've heard in our childhood? About kings, queens, palaces, monsters, demons?
And we grow up listening to them not realising that they eventually become part of our psyche..our very existence...
Because somewhere these myths, these fables, these stories draw us to them. It is the timeless wisdom and knowledge, told in the most simplistic manner - which touches us deep down..
This is the magic of storytelling...
... a story can change your life ..
