Unless a person is adequately
sensitive, how can the spirit be experienced? How can spirituality
dawn within?
When we respond to subtle emotions
even, we are branded as over-sensitive, or hyper-sensitive...! Such
'labelling' tends to make us urge-nt to hurry into an effort to
suppress such sensitivity instead of harnessing it, turning it
inwards.... we are carried away by the opinion of others...
Nature has give us its generous share
of sensitivity.... We are simply not aware any more... When we
say we are not close to nature, most of us think of the distance
between their flat, apart-ment, and the deep jungles, rivers and
mountains.... No... that is not all... we have 'nature' right
within us... For instance, we have that 'hunger' and the
'empty-stomach' as distinct sensations.. only if we are willing to
'look' within.... but, for a lot many of us, that empty stomach
itself means 'time for a refill'.... it happens till the doctor puts
us on rigorous dietary restrictions..!
If we are feeling annoyed at this
observation, please see, ....... that 'sensitizing' us on a
mass-scale is such a rewarding industry now! The mega episodes of
Satyameva Jayate is about social-issues that requires just a little
common sense,...... sense, sense-ability, sensitive...
sensitivity... but, a multicrore project to educate us to 'create'
afresh that awareness about social problems, right in our midst!
This sensitivity is a precious gift, to
be very carefully nurtured, nourished and then it would do wonders,
befriending us on the spiritual path!
I had the rare chance to answer a
question, when the asker was quizzical about a sensitivity, but,
perhaps, did not identify it the right way.... (the cuticle.. the
edge of the finger nail are dead cells, the sensation is at the root
hairs, instead, and where it ought to be! Unfortunately, I might
have ended up reminding the true purpose of those eyebrows, instead
of that 'beauty-enhancer-gadget' that it is rendered into now!) .
(That sense of humor we find in
ourselves is a gentle reminder of a great potential lying within us
waiting to be tapped! What else can it mean, when the words on a
monitor gives a tingling sensation to our emotions, and we cheer up
out of nowhere, for no reason!.... It is only human beings who
have the capability to rise into subtler-sensitive-capabilities, as
we grow ..... and ...... by the time, the physical sensitivity is
lost due to age, the subtle ones take over at a mega-scale! And that
... accounts for the 'mega-reason' why elders are honoured at the
age of 60, 80 and 100... not merely due to the reason of having
vegetated for so long!)

Have you ever tried to rub your
eyebrow hairs with cuticles of fingernails? It feels great?
you don't have to pull eyebrow hair,
but you have to rub fingernail cuticles on eyebrow hair, and the
feeling and sensation you get on your cuticles of fingernails that
feel great. I do it with my mom's eyebrow too. If someone has thick
and rough eyebrow hair (like old people have) then it even feel more
great. By Cuticles I mean the edge of fingernails that is the end of
fingernails. I have habit of doing it and only if I do it then only I
can sleep
My answer:
The eyebrows are designed to give us an
early warning, in the eventuality of any harm likely to occur to our
eyes... When somebody waves the arm too close to our eyes, the
eyelids shut automatically!... It is instantly as a response, not
automatic (if we are willing, we can experience this seemingly
'automation' right within us.... I suppose only spirituality can take
us such sharp levels of alertness... any way... that is beside the
point..)
People tamper with eyebrows, simply because it draws a
lots of attention towards the beauty of the face... The sensitivity
is partially lost... But the loss is not noticeable because we too
have lost a lots of sensitivity over generations (we use gadgets to
tell us things, which we could have known using just the body as an
antenna!)...
..
You have discovered this sensitivity, as also
the method to separate the distinction within a perceivable level...
that is what induces sleep.... (Mom runs the palm across the scalp,
of a child, and slowly the child feels sleepy... may be, a lullaby,
with meaningless repetitive words,with a good rhythm might also
induce a boredom soon enough for the kid to fall asleep!)... The
finger nail's edge has no sensation of its own... so the fingers are
like some remote... where as, the skin, the hair of the eyebrow are
extremely sensitive, and repetitive tingling keeps the mind focused
at one place.... just one place.... the alertness is slowly taken off
from other thoughts... sleep is a need of the body periodically, and
the body tunes to treating this as a message to invoke the sleep
duration...
