Intangible nothingness

Did you ever wonder why it is so easy to drift into the idle state of mind called nothingness? Because, nothingness of thought is like an intangible vacuum and has an enormous power to suck the forces of energy filled thought. Ever analyzed the awful and awesome consequences of intangible nothingness? Here we go.


In classroom - Punishment not less than standing through out the class. I am sure no body can be lost into the intangible nothingness when legs are soaring


In Yoga class- Congratulations! you are on your way to become parama yogi


In office meeting - Get ready to clean up your desk in the coming week


In the presence of a person who is adept in eating one's time and brain - A boon!

Superior

This poem is from the 'The Crescent Moon' by Rabindranath Tagore:
**********************************************************************************
Mother, your baby is silly!
She is so absolutely childish!

She does not know the difference between
the lights in the streets and the stars.

When we play at eating pebble,
she thinks they are realfood, and
tries to put them into her mouth.

When I open a book before her and
ask her to learn her a, b,c, she tears the leaves with her hand
and roars for joy at nothing; this is your baby's way of doing her lesson.

When I shake my head at her in anger and scold her
and call her naughty, she laughs and thinks it great fun.

Everybody knows that father is away,
but if in play I call aloud "Father,"
she looks about her in excitement
and thinks that father is near.

When I hold my class with the donkeys that our washerman
brings to carry away the clothes and I warn her that
I am the schoolmaster, she will scream for no reason and call me dada.

Your baby wants to catch the moon.
She is so funny; she calls Ganesh Ganush.

Mother, your baby is silly!
She is so absurdly childish!
