In one of my previous blogs I remember mentioning that being neither happy or sad is the best thing.
I wanted to check the practicality of such a state of mind. I was waiting for one of my exam results and I did pass the exam (came out as a big surprise!!). Was I happy or neutral hearing my result. I have to admit that I had a sense of relief having passed. And I did go ahead to share the result with some near and dear ones.
Retrospectively, I honestly belief that I would have felt slightly heavy at heart if I did not pass the exam. The more the mind is fighting to stay calm, the calmness never surfaces.
I think one has to train the mind to achieve the state of neither happy or sad.
I have experienced the state of mind once or twice when I have been in a situation but MYSELF actually stood separate from the situation. I chose to go into the state of mind.
So, when I can chose why did I choose to feel happy hearing a pass result? What is this attachment to happiness? Why can't I be attached to sadness? Why do humans like happiness instead of sadness? If no attachment then No identification of happy or sad. If I STOP IDENTIFYING happy and sad as two separate entities- If there is ONENESS of feeling-Leads to state of mind of balancing happy and sad....In other words BLISS.
