A friendly conversation with another reminded me of why i chose to become a seeker.

In the practical world he would have been identified as a practical guy, likely to become a success.

But in my eyes, and i believe i speak on behalf of the other seekers as well, that he is losing the beauty that is in the present.

In our conversation, he had posed me questions that were justifiable, in the practical sense. They were objective questions.

But my answers were subjective.

Although i did have a laugh at his ego playing him, i was watchful of what i said to him. It was evident his mind had completely taken him over.

He failed to understand that the mind is a tool. A tool meant to be used as and when needed.

I am using my tool now, to ensure that i am grammatically correct, that i do not offend anyone in my posts. I need the tool when i NEED it.

When i do not need it, it is of no use to me. When i do not need it, i feel. I feel my environment with my heart, i listen with my heart.

This plane is not for competition, this plane is a playground. Just play!

I did thank him for his challenge though, as i have been on a spiritual low for some time and his conversation reminded me why.

I am still learning, everyday. To those who are as well, there are whole group of seekers out there who can help.

You just have to reach out.
