Take care of the processes affecting your kernel

The most important thing in life is to be happy, but where to find happiness. This has been questioned and answered for ages. Our philosophers, religious Gurus and Mahatmas have always said "Its within you". Does it actually resides within us?. They have even devised proper mechanisms to get it, but all those stuff seems to be troublesome and too much for us to do, the busy office goers, whose life has got trapped between office and room.
I recently attended an introductory session on "Sahaj Yog" in my office, they told me its a stress management session. There they talked about how to bring a time gap between thoughts coming in our mind and finally come to a state of eternal peach , a state of thoughtlessness through meditation. It was sounding great, a thoughtless state.
But it demanded regular meditation, "Regular" the word which has become a synonym for office. The session was the only time when I did meditation sitting on chair along with my fellow office mates; I was excited and sure of continuing it on regular basis. But as all other plans of mine it too remained as a thought. I will talk about that in next blog.. again coming to happiness.

I was wondering what this happiness consist of and what is the mechanism through it operates on us. I wrote my thoughts here.
I feel we can separate happiness into two parts, the core happiness and the outer happiness. Its the most common categorization hahaha..everything has inner and outer part you would say..ok...my thoughts proceed.

The core happiness is the one which lies within us, deep inside our mind and heart. Only special people and things have the privilege of affecting this part. On the other hand the outer happiness can be affected by all silly things surrounding us, as silly as India losing a cricket match; yes it has become a common thing thanks to our model cum cricketers.

The bigger part is that we can compare this concept of happiness with that of Operating System.hehe... can't help..I am a software techi.. yes its kind of operating system working within us.
Core happiness makes the kernel part and the user process part of this OS is the outer happiness.
All people, things and activities happening around us are like processes to be executed by the operating system.
The user process is executed in the outer user area and hence does not affect the core part. But the privileged process has direct impact on the core happiness, the kernel, so it’s important to take care of those special processes. By special processes I mean someone we love, our family, and our parents or anything which is very dear to us.

User processes does not affect the kernel part, in the same way negative things does not affect us much if we are happy from inside, the core happiness. On contrary if the kernel is blocking, all the user processes howsoever happening they may be does not makes us happy and are of no use.
If we are happy from inside, we are not much affected by negative things happening in the user area. Its true you would have experienced it by yourself.
Our boss may be annoying us, he may be asking to come on weekends ..it hurts a lot..hehe.but against all odds we respond to the situation in a positive way. These negative user processes does not affect us much as our kernel is healthy and responding in the best way it could.

But what happens when the kernel is sick, if it is not responding.
At such time, we wonder why we are not enjoying party, why the jokes that could have got us rolling on the floor do not bring a smile on our face. We do not like anything; even our favorite food is no tastier. Why it happens? Why we want to be alone, why every single thing seems to be annoying. It’s just because we are not feeling happy from inside. Our kernel is not responding, because some privileged process has affected it.

The outer happiness is dependent on the inner happiness in the same way user processes are nothing without kernel, they are useless without kernel processing their requests.

Prioritizing is very important for proper functioning of any system.
One should identify the privileged process and take care of them, because they have direct impact on the kernel, on which whole happiness is based.
Be careful, not to annoy any such process, All user processes alone could do nothing for you.
