Namaste, Welcome to SAM-VAD (Together In Conversation), as we begin today \u2018let us remember this about \u2018Attention\u2019.<\/strong> <\/em>Our life experience would ultimately amount to whatever we had paid attention to. Attention: is important and most of the times we are so indifferent to it. It is as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. We feed the hunger blindly. Once the mechanism is brought to our attention and we begin to study it, it is as if a veil has been stripped off ordinary life, and we become freer in our action and choices.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who are interested in the miraculous will either \u2018consume\u2019 wonder-tales from emotional craving, or may allow them to operate as alternative ways of thinking about things, to exercise the part of the mind which says: \u2018stereotyped reactions are constricting\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q) Are the \u2018miraculous\u2019 stories literally true, or are they designed to illustrate structures equivalent to what may happen, or are they intended to make people credulous or to \u2018think in a new way\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
