The robot and the human being

Due to the repetitive thought process, the mind becomes hardened into a robot and our responses become mechanical.  This is part of the reason for mediocrity in life.  Even though one may have pots of money, fame and other satisfying situations, the robotic response in one causes unhappiness.  Involvement of the ego destroys human touch to one's responses, the robotic response being the very content of that ego.  So, the question is: Can one dissolve the robot in one?  A million dollar question!

Trying to control the robot cannot help because the controller himself is part of the robot.  What can help is a quiet awareness and understanding of the robot.  That means we have our attention turned on ourselves as the robot gets into action.  This is not easy.  However, with sustained interest in that direction the robot comes under spotlight and so begins to dissolve.  It becomes fun as we move deeper in that direction.  The inward journey based on self-awareness can clear up many unwanted mental states.  One becomes relaxed and meets life with a laid-back attitude.  Vibrancy in life has to have such a stable base of unruffled mind.
