Peace of Mind

Here's another from the ChatGPT. ❤️πŸ’πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜ƒπŸ™‚
Okay, I'll try to write a poem about peace of mind. Here is what I came up with:

```
Peace of mind is a state of calmness
Where worries and fears fade away
It is a feeling of serenity
Where nothing can disturb our day

Peace of mind is a gift of wisdom
Where we accept what we cannot change
It is a sense of understanding
Where we see things from a wider range

Peace of mind is a result of meditation
Where we quiet our restless thoughts
It is a practice of awareness
Where we find the peace we sought
```

Gratitude. ❤️πŸ’πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜ƒπŸ™‚

ChatGPT's + GPT-4's response to My request to write a poem on "Gratitude" for Me. My very first request. ❤️πŸ˜ƒπŸ™‚πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’ -
Sure, I'll try to write a poem on gratitude. Here is what I came up with:

```Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation
For the gifts and blessings in our life
It is a way of saying thank you
To the ones who make us smile

Gratitude is a practice of mindfulness
To notice the beauty and the grace
It is a way of being present
To the moments that we embrace

Gratitude is a source of happiness
For it fills our hearts with joy
It is a way of spreading kindness
To the ones we love and enjoy```

On the stages of life.

In the KG-Nursery one learns to pronounce syllables. By the time Junior School is over one has learnt to write letters of the alphabet. By the time schooling is done one has learnt how to write words. By the time college graduation and/or post graduation is done one has learnt how to form sentences. By the time one has worked for a few years, say by the age of 30-35 years, one begins to compose paragraphs. By the time one enters middle age at 40, one has learnt to write an essay. By the time one is 45-46 one realizes that one doesn't know anything about what one has been writing so far and what a duffer one really has been.

Rest, I'll let you know when I get there. :D !!!

Hope !

There seems no one with a rationally stable perspective and mind anywhere, and all are being buffeted by historically intense narratives of every creed and color in today's world.
Will this fledgling information age be imploded by it's own potentials ? 
The rational are hidden somewhere in the background to all these unfolding chaos', grasped by only a very few, and not necessarily by those who claim the mantle of modern science either. But yes, they exist - those who grasp that 2+2=4 and only 4, even if in a few numbers, and they recognize their brethren and reach out to them over time and space. I know You are there, MAN ! So I am safe.

A story for those who scoff at The Master's authority - from I think Anthony de Mello S.J.'s books

Once there was a spiritual discourse in progress as the Master was holding forth. It was believed by many that the Master was Divine and all powerful. As the Master spoke eloquently about all things spiritual, holding many enraptured, one young man scoffed at the Master's Words cynically and loudly, thus disturbing the audience. The Master ignored him and continued with the discourse but the scoffer persisted in making snide comments on the master's Ideas, interrupting the flow of the session repeatedly. 

Some of the disciples tried to quiet the man but to no avail. Finally everyone, including the Master, gave up. He called the young man to the front of the audience and asked him if there was something He could do to satisfy the young man's scepticism.


The man was thrilled, since he had all the attention of the audience riveted on himself. Now he had a  never before opportunity to show down the Master and prove that the Master was just another charlatan. 


He declared that the Master was a fraud and if He was Divine and as powerful and perfect, as this audience believes, let Him produce a perfect apple for him.


The Master laughed out loud and said, 'Is that all you can think of, young man ? Ok here you can have it !" and the Master bent forward, picked an apple, from a fruit basket that was placed in front of Him, and handed it to the cynical scoffer.


The man took the apple, looked over it and handed it back to the Master, announcing, " Ho Ho ! This is not a perfect apple Mister. This is beginning to rot on one side and has blemishes. What I want is your Divine Perfect Heavenly Apple, that everyone claims you can produce."


The Master replied, taking back the apple, "I'm so sorry to disappoint you, young man, but considering your present faculties, this is as close to a Divine Perfect Heavenly Apple you can get to, now."

I coined this word called "Concept"
though I didn't know what it'd mean.

I've been searching for it's meaning
but it's been eluding me ever since.

Oh Concept ! Oh Concept ! Oh Concept !
Growing wider and higher each day,
As expert circles in deep discussions
are growing smaller in despair.

Though they say they know it all,
What they know they cannot say ! )

Give yourself a meaning Concept !
You're in my mind, just stay.
