One Mind - Endless Possibilities
"There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" - Richard P Feynman
I digress from quirks of Quantum Mechanics and nuances of nanotechnology to contemplate on the vagaries of human mind, to explore zillions of possibilities.
It's essential to stress upon the interests we have, besides our routine. Something which makes us pleasant, delving deep into the subconscious.
Music, poetry, painting, sport - all of these, can heal. It's perfectly fine to experiment, not being restrictive to a particular area. Anything that's not just a monetary endeavour adds tremendous therapeutic value. As humans, as long as we are learning and challenging ourselves, there's no end to experiencing everything that life has to offer. Humans, right from the times of Leornado da Vinci to Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan have been beacons of insight into a multipotentialite Microverse, where it's possible to revel in different realms of excellence.
There's an artform 'avadhāna' where a person is subjected to mutlifold, often multifaceted lines of thoughts. This is enough to prove how the brain can focus on 8, or even 100 things.
No human being would acknowledge that they use all of their abilities. The key is to widen the net, stretch the envelope. Nothing we do goes useless, it's all about contextualizing the acts. The modern adage ought to be "Jack of Many, Master of Some"
At the end, ability without empathy and humility, is bound to be a boat that sinks. So, it doesn't hurt to reminisce the lines from हितोपदेश -
विद्या ददाति विनयं विनयाद्याति पात्रताम् ।
पात्रत्वात् धनमाप्नोति, धनाद्धर्मं ततः सुखम् ॥
[Knowledge makes one humble, humility begets worthiness, worthiness creates wealth and enrichment, enrichment leads to right conduct, and right conduct brings contentment]
