Other day I was just looking in one direction… My colleague standing next to me asked: “Hey who are you staring at”. I was startled by his question. I realized I was actually looking blindly… I said: "Hmmm nothing". He asked another one: “So thinking something”.
I thought over.......... Was I actually thinking something? Was I looking to someone? What did I do in past 3 minutes? I realized I was doing Blank Thinking.
Many a time we just end up giving this answer Blank Thoughts. There could be number of reasons of this answer. Some of which I can think of are:
- We are thinking something, when asked by we don’t want to share our thoughts with someone so we say Blank Thoughts. Trust me I had done this number of times whenever my mom asks me suddenly what are you thinking and I don’t feel comfortable sharing with her J
- We ourselves don’t know what we are thinking.. We call it Blank Thought. So many times u just stop by and stare blindly in one direction aimlessly.. Later with some interrupt you realize u were actually lost. After getting conscious self back we realize we just wore our Blank thinking cap for some time.
- I start thinking on something and go on for a long time. Then I wonder what I was thinking? Whether that topic is worth enough to give my thinking time on that?
- We do stare at things and think nothing…. Literally doing blank thinking…
So what could be the reason of Blank Thoughts?
Without realizing when we go into that mode. We all actually do that at one point or other…
The state of mind at that point of time is called state of empty mind… Many saints who do lots of meditation go into that mode often and they call that state of mind which does not think anything is actually a state of mind when u meet god…. u r lost in a different world and don’t bother about past present future, self family life, world nothing… completely out of everything. We normal people go into that mode only sometimes because we are already too occupied by so many worldly thoughts no part of brain is empty… But once upon a time may be for a very small span we all go into that state just because ultimately we are all part of that ultimate power…
Sometimes we go into this empty state when we are in love… but we don’t know the name of our love. We just love someone we have never met but have just imagined of. I am in love too with a person I have never met, never seen. But I know he is the one I love. I imagine him everywhere. Whenever I am alone and feel like talking to someone I talk to him. I fight with him, cry with him, smile with him eat with him…. I feel happy then. I don’t feel lonely then. But that thought is also temporary. The moment I realize is that person does not exist in reality I am pulled out of that state of mind.
Once again all the worldly thoughts start pouring in. removing the space which my loved one occupied sometime back.
You guys can think over it….

Welcome to the world of blogging..
Well, I believe that thought(s) cant be blank.. mind can be...but again it depends with whom you want to share your thought and up to what extent, coz its your "intellectual property".
hope to get more read from you about your personal exps..
Nice one... good work............
but Not completely in tune with you ;)
It may be called "Blank thoughts" and you may not share it with anyone or may not be something important to remember when u come back to normal... but its never blank.. one thing or other always there .. even if its a minor thing or unimportant ...so much that u cant recall it exactly.. but not "Blank"!
You may call it "Blank" after all its ur thougths n of course ur Blog! :P

It was fun looking at the intriguing expressions on ur face, when you were lost in the blank thoughts..nice write up..looking forward to see more articles..cheers..
a pleasant development anno.i like the points that you made though it was a little long:). a moment spent thinking nothing is divine.since its beyond our perception, we say its being connected to cosmos.
blank thought excuse is a good one.i ve done it too;)
another interesting one is that we do not completely know what we were thinking.may be, our thoughts register in short term memory with limited capacity and so beyond its capacity,information is lost:)
keep penning your thoughts and stop behaving like schizophrenic!
