Today Iam going in to give to stray thoughts that wander in like uninvited guests.In meditation they are asked to be not given attention to so that they will go away like uninvited guests.
How are we supposed to treat uninvited guests?We all have encountered them. The insurance girl who pesters and who cannot be told not to have hope.The neighbour's brother who probably is not given any food even by them comes and waits for a meal.The stray gardner who if possible will do the work with the least possible skill but expects us to give him all the encouragement.These are some examples of the uninvited guests and are real persons.
But I am dealing with uninvited thoughts.Thoughts that are not personally of any use in uplifting me are bad guests.Iam down with them as I realise the basic flaw in me is that Iam between the ideal and the flirtatious woman.This combination is not a happy one as one wants and yet will never enjoy what one can get.Has the stray defaulter felt this conflict when he does not pay up.Has the true one felt this conflict when he is untrue for a change or is compelled to be so.
I think thoughts are habits.If you stop thinking then there does not seem to be much uninvited guests there I think.

- Movies That I Liked.....I watched a Malayalam Movie called'Vastu Hara' in Kairali T.V.yesterday.The story touches about losers who migrate abandoning their personal properties during divison of countries and realtes to the creation of East Pakistan called East Bengal dividing Bengalis .Also running underneath the main issue is the personal loss of property which gets rejected by the Mother in the story who is offered the same back by her Husband's relatives.
