Boredom .. Is it a state of mind?
We have phases in Life ... sometimes its disco and then its boredom. Sometimes we feel like climbing mountains and then sitting out rooms in isolation.
In this competitve world people have become workholic and if given an opportunity to breathe fresh air ... they get bored. They just want there laptops, internet and keep surfing the world. They have actually forgetten the meaning of peace ... which is always there with oneself.
According to wikipedia, Boredom stems from a lack of interesting things to see, hear, or do (physically or intellectually) when not in the mood of "doing anything." Often it is a clearly subjective state; one person may find a classical music concert "boring," for example, while another may find it riveting.
Normally, i have a problem of getting bored whenever i am free as i dont have many hobbies to mingle with. But last many weeks i have involved myself with writing articles on FMCG Marketing, working out in Gym, watching every damn movie released near my place, meeting friends in Noida - Arun Goyal, Gurgaon - Bagga ... and if given an opportunity love to drive Royal Enfield. How can i forget Wednesday visit to RPG's Spencer in Pacific Mall .. Just guess for what? To buy the fresh vegetables with my mother.
But the point to understand is that we only make ourselves bored ... At the spiritual level everybody will say it to be a a state of mind.
The even more important issue is - How to control this crappy mind? Gita recommend to have control over ones Indriyas. But where is the solution? I am 100% sure, its within us as i have read it in many texts .. and have also felt it. Its actually a state of surrender. Its is a state of emptyness. Its like a passive robotic - a robot who cannot think and interpret things. But i must tell you, its really tough.
How many people around you are composed, who dont get angry easily, who is not fickle, a thinking person ... Very very few. But there are people. I call them "Mature People". They have actually given a thought to what life is all about - there presence in this world - there purpose of life. Many of us are not clear at all what we are doing. Most of time it is people-following. This is dependency. And a level above this is Independent as narrated by Mr. Covey. But actually and the highest level is Interdependence. But very interesting thing to note here is that all the above three states/ situations have a commanality - DEPENDENCY. What ever level you are, you will always be dependent. But i thing there is even a higher state - Self. This looks somewhat similar to independent, but actually is not? Its is a state where one can be busy with oneself, happy with oneself - inspite of living with people. Once you can achieve this level, you will never get bored.
Just think of a situation where you are left alone in this world/ place and you have nobody to accompany you. How will you react. Its boring!! But if you can live at a level of self - Its serene, happy, calm - with no tumoil.
But again its really tough to achieve this state in this materialistic world. But one should give a try atleast.
