Personal Debugging - by Sundar Srinivasan
By - 6:42 AM Tuesday 27 December 2005
We all face situations in life which leave us crippled or paralysed.Understanding a problem is more often than not the key to its' solution. It has been my observance that more people end up barking up the wrong tree when it comes to resolving and addressing acute personal issues.
There is a discernible failure of intelligence in the process, even if the people in question are high achievers in their chosen fields of endeavour. And when we seek solutions at the wrong place, the problems remain unsolved.
When we do a software debug, we do a lateral as well as backstep analysis involving user levels codes, assembly codes, machine codes , hardware configurations and so on.As we take the backward steps to address issues, there is a full stop when it comes to Silicon and Germanium as switching devices.They have certain attributes which are a given, kind of sacred, which can only be used/manipulated to suit our conveniences. The basic attributes are sacrosant.
I wonder why we dont use the same mechanisms to life...look inward and see the basic stimuli and catalysts to event manifests in our lives. We focus only outward....and look at reasons why certain things happened or did not happen...
My personal explores in inner realms have led me to the conclusion that our outer universe manifests are reflections of our inner worlds.And setting right of issues inside play a critical role in healings outside.And setting right is not about "managing" or about "supressions".It is about "resolution" or "dissolution".
A couple of women were chatting by the window pane.One of them, the owner of the house was remarking on a lady drying clothes on the lawn of a neighbouring house. She was mentioning that the clothes seemed still so soiled and dirty and was quite critical of the same.It was then that her friend reminded her that the dust was on her window pane and not in the clothes.
So it is with life..we seek to change the world when all change is essential within ourselves.
Mahatma Gandhi is once reported to have said, "Let us all be the change we seek."

Sundar,
lovely post.
the world has its beginning in the mind, exists in the mind and dies with the mind. any problem therefore, the solution also lies in ourselves.
for there is nothing out there, whatever is inside is outside.
good morning jasjit.

Good morning Aachi and a question for you both
How does one convince the modern mind that all is not well with the mind and all that is not well with our personal world also in fact resides in our mind?
Its holiday time so why not bite into the really tough questions eh?
love

Jasjit,
In a parable Sri Ramakrishna addressed the same issue.
A little boy while being put to bed looks at his mother and says ' Mummy please wake me up when I want to attend the call of nature."
The mother smiles and says " Little one, when the time comes for the call of nature, you yourself will wake up."
We all have inbuilt wake up calls in each one of us, tuned and timed to wake us up at various points in our transmigration. The alarm clocks in each one of us have been set up by the Lord himself. When the time comes , they ring hoarse and we wake up.

Sunder,
Its so true what you have written. I am in my mid-twenties and 2 years back I went through a rough relationship. In the beginning I used to keep asking myself what went wrong, why did this relationship not work out, why did this happen to me... I just couldn't get out of the circle no matter how much I had lost all the confidence in me.It was only when I started looking inwards as to what were my feelings and what did I think about the relationship, that things started to get clear. I realised that the relationship did not have any strong emotional bondings as such. It was then that I stopped feeling sorry and like a miracle my confidence started coming back.
But I guess its not easy for everyone to exercise this inward looking process.

Good Morning Sundar
You have simply stated the most powerful truth/solution/access to understanding human suffering. I too find that computer as a technology is a brilliant analogy to many things human especially mind/infinite potential/connectivity. Ironically the word PC is more metaphoric than we think.
Thanx
