By default, time spent in traveling is considered as waste if not by others at least by me until very recently when I thought of writing this article while travelling.
Not that this the first time this thought has come to me. In the earlier times whenever this thought has come, I had ignored it or shrugged it off without giving it any due attention. It is only now that I am giving it the necessary consideration which indeed is a learning for me and it's a time for introspection on that.
When I reflect upon and question myself, what is the reason for this change or I would better term it as improvement?. One single reason that I can think of is my recent commitment to writing. I have started blogging in steemit.com and would continue to pursue that from here on.
So the next question that comes to my mind is, what changes does the writing habit bring in me? Though I have just started blogging/writing very recently, I am already convinced that it's going to have a huge impact on me. The first thing that comes to my mind is, the journey of mind exploration has begun. It's one of the vehicles to begin the mind exploration. With my limited knowledge currently, I have come to understand that, mind exploration is a never ending journey and mind is as vast as universe which is well captured in one of the famous Sanskrit Shlokas "Aham Brahmasmi" which means I am the universe which also translates to "I am the one in all and all in one" in the context of "Brahman" which is the Omnipresent (present every where), the Omniscient (the all knowing) and the omnipotent (the all powerful). That is the reason why we hear the great sages and the enlightened beings saying they have no boundaries and are capable of answering any question thrown at them. Let me stop at this point on this topic which can be taken at length in more detail and in organised way at later point of time.
