Moreover, we didn’t get to understanding the tangible benefit
of this ‘tough and boring act’ and so put it aside. Neha’s talk threw light on
its possibility and a chance to experience something surreal. But was it enough
to tempt us to act on this thought! I doubted it though I wished we give it a
try!
Many others gave expression to their experiences and I summed
up everybody’s experience at the end.
“From all that we shared and discussed, few point shave become
very evident. IDFN is by itself good but its benefits are so vast and varied.
To benefit those goodies we need to follow simple rules as –
·
Every
day-to-day act, be it walking, eating, playing etc should be done with
‘mindfulness’.
·
Its
time we stop multitasking and put all our efforts in the work at hand
·
Slow
down a bit to relish the ‘moment’ of life. Afterall, life is lived in moments.
·
All
these years we had been giving importance to the ‘activity at hand’. Its time
we look and see ‘how we are doing’ instead of ‘what we are doing’.
·
We
have been giving importance to ‘doing’. Its time we shift to ‘being’ instead of
‘doing’.
·
Our
worthiness has been always been based on ‘what we were doing’, when in
actuality it is ‘what we are’ or ‘how I experience a moment’.
·
We
are so ‘market-oriented’ that we price every act based on its value, its
‘return-on-investment value’. Instead we should realize that acts that don’t
have any value are also very valuable nay infact priceless many times. Some
examples are –
-
Watching
sunset
-
Listening
to the roar of waves
-
Listening
to your favourite song oblivious to your surroundings
-
Dancing
or getting drenched in rain
-
Reading
a novel (even keeping aside house-hold chores)
Afterall, life is ‘lived in these precious moments’ not in
the ‘to-do-today-list’.
