My brush with thoughtlessness
Today for the first time i had a brush with thoughlessness. In one of my sporadic , if thats the word i'm looking for, sessions of meditation it happened !
One might say ,hmm... thoughtlessness , i experience it all the time!! No , think about it , oops ,there i go ...thinking about it is the problem. Without us realizing , we do think a lot. In meditation it is noise, and we are encouraged to ignore it and it slowly goes away. A silent mind is the environment we want to achieve. But thoughts are hard to ignore, because the mind is a store of random memory , you never know what can pop up ! In spite of this , today , after multiple trials in the past i came to a state where i seemed completely thoughtless , the state was unique , i felt ethereal ! But then i started thinking about this state ..and i violated its rules , dang !
Lesson learnt : When in a state of thoughlessness ,try not to think abt it !!!

Won't one need to think to try not thinking about it? Aah...it's an unending cycle :|
