Change is constant & hence, we live on a platform which
is dynamic in nature. But, we seek stability in this dynamism of life. This
seeking is quite natural & it is possible. All you need to do is to induce
forcefully slowness that creates clarity & stillness. These in turn build stability.
Perception:
Clarity is a change in the perception. The way how perceive everyday events
changes by the slowness. The fan that rotates, the wings of the fan gradually
disappear with the speed of rotation. With Slowness, one can gradually see the
shape of the wings. Shape of the wing can be evidently and completely seen when
the fan comes to a halt. So, our perception of the shape of the wing in the fan
varies with the speed. Similarly, everyday events that we perceive change with the
speed of the mind. A deeper perception is possible with the slower mind.
Slowness of mind:
Intentionally slowing the mind is a learnable skill. There is a direct
correlation to the physical stillness to the mental stillness. Stillness of
mind can be achieved easily with the still body. Physical stillness can be achieved
by training the spine to stay in the neutral position. Keeping the spine adds
stillness in the mind.
Optimal result:
In the present day scenario, life runs at a fast paced routine. The smartness
remains in how one handles himself optimally with the speed. This becomes possible
by gaining deeper perception and that is possible by inducing slowness. So
intentional slowdown in you directly influence your performance when the situations
demand speed.
Summary: The arms
of the fan disappear with the speed. Reducing the speed of the fan gives the
visibility of the arms. Physically, keeping the spine stable adds stillness in
the mind.
“To perform optimally in a fast phased life, make a
deliberate effort at times to induce “slowness” that creates “clarity” &
“stillness” that builds “stability” in you.
