A calm mind attracts goodwill and a disturbed mind attracts illwill. Everyone is good in a calm-mind. If you want to know a person properly, then see how that person reacts in disturbed-mind. The reason for your disturbed-mind can be anything. When anger, hatred, jealousy, greed, fear, ego, lust etc. dominate a person's mind, then how much change occurs in his/her behavior. The difference between the behavior of calm-mind and the behavior of disturbed-mind is the right assessment of the person.
Have you ever observed the difference between the behavior of your calm mind and your disturbed mind?
As a child, I was curious to open all the things and see the mechanism inside it. Whenever my father brought me a toy, it was more fun to open it than to play with it. I still have this habit, now I open not only objects but also thoughts.
If you are asked that if you were to be born again, would you like to be born from your mother's womb or from a surrogate womb, then what would be your answer?
Well, it is the matter between mother and her child. It is her decision whether to keep her child in her own womb or in the other's womb. But if the child could also be asked whether you want to be born from your mother's womb or from a surrogate womb then how good it would have been.
Self awareness is a very big and deep thing. When the feelings/emotions flare up, then the equanimity of the mind is broken and the self-awareness ends. mind is reactive natured, that's why it is difficult to keep equanimity in mind.
