Observer.............

We are all part of commotion which is constantly going around us. Everyone is moving, saying, narrating, writing, yelling and doing every other action which is possible, but never thinking over their own action. Though at times the actions are pre-thought, with situational assumptions, but when it is being performed, what it is turning into is an entirely different thing. Had there been a time when you break out of this commotion and start analysing the dimension of which you were a part some time before, you become an observer. It is equivalent to watching a game of chess being played by two players, you have no stakes in the game but you always form an opinion about what a player is thinking and validate it with the set of moves that are followed by him/her. Mind against mind is most entertaining and prized competition. Now imagine if the two humans remove the pieces of chess and start playing the mind game without any objects, face to face. It is a game which you would really enjoy. Societies have woven rituals and ceremonies around it. US has presidential debate which is again a game of mind, with two humans using their wit and oratorical skills to outplay the other, the winner has a possible reward of running away with the title of being of the most powerful human on earth (contentious). This one is a pre-planned mind game while many such mind games keep occurring around us which are unplanned and even more entertaining not from the outcome perspective but from the action perspective, all we need to do is break away from commotion to observe it.

I recently had one such session when out of the blue and for no accountable reason I got withdrawn from the commotion and I suddenly became the spectator of the world of which I was a part of , seconds earlier. Now when you migrate to this realm you become supreme observer. Suddenly you get to grasp what every action or inaction of a person is targeted for or aimed at. At that moment you do not observe an event in isolation but rather you attach every thing and then observe it and surrounding with many non-acting characters change the whole story. A person who appear to be the busiest guy around, would appear to be a great actor who knows how to appear busy when it is needed to, the aim might be as simple as boosting image in front of people who would revere person more if he appears to be a busy bee.

A discussion topic which would be most alluring to indulge in endless discussion would start appearing to be moronic, if you are in an observer's position. Sample this, how would the happenings in someone else's life be of any importance to others, but when you are part of commotion, you tend to find this as the most interesting topic to discuss and speculate. We spend hours and hours discussing a great cricket innings but essentially that innings has not effect on any person's life who have been indulging into discussions. People may argue that such innings had bought name to nation etc etc but in reality I don't know how many times have we come across when we had needed to invoke our identity of being an Indian.

When in observer's position, you start realising what phase Lord Buddha or other gods/angels/avatars or their ghost writers were in, while they wrote the theories of non-materialism. For an observer money has no importance neither has fame or any thing which a non observer revers most. ( I would want to catch bill gates or Warren buffet in such a moment, and would want to take possession of all their "non-important" things. read money)But fortunately or unfortunately this break off from the commotion do not last very long and you are back again and maybe being observed by someone else who had broken the commotion and would have labelled you as moron as per his/her observation.

P.S. The phase that is described here was not reached through alcohol consumption or doing drugs. However all views are expressed are that of a different state and I would myself not agree to many of them when in real world that is being a part of commotion,
