What is conflict? where does it arise from? when does it strike?

A closer look at these queries reveals that there is a gap between the thought and the action. here thought, may be an idea that goes well in tune with one's self and an action that needs to be performed much against the idea. So, it means a gap between the idea and the reality or the truth.

When the idea becomes the action, there is no conflict. This can be seen even in small instances. Some even call this as harmony in work, harmony in action etc. But the same idea can become a monster or just a hurdle and bring about conflict accordingly if the action to be performed differs.
simple instances like someone who is so used to an independent living might find it really difficult when it comes to sharing his room or his personal things. It is just a thought that can turn into a boulder in letting the adaptability to happen.

Dealing with outward conflict with situations and people primarily depends on how well one is in tune with one's own self. Conflict with one's own self is a disaster. Not necessarily, everything has to be according to one's idea but how one deals with the action reveals the levels of harmony with one's own self. In conflict, the action that needs to be performed or failed to perform results in heavy residue of depressing and damaging actions.

When the art of dealing with the gap, between the the idea and the action is learnt, then there is no conflict. It is just understood as that is the way and then life goes on in tune with every moment.

Very true, this is why so many people avoid conflict because there is a gap within that has not been closed. Wise words.

Conflict is a state of mind. It is a vision or illusion a person creates to learn. As it happens, I wrote a post on this topic which may interest you and your readers;

~ "Adapt Tune" ~

-
An insight into a dance competition show. Unlike the regular performance where a participant proves his dancing skills to a song selected and well trained for it, here he is expected to dance to the unexpected tunes. The DJ on the set is the creator of the tunes for that moment. The participant on the floor is evaluated as to how well his performance is tuned in to the unexpected rhythms. "Expect the unexpected" and tune in to be your own self. Thats when the best of performance is unfolded. You dont perform but you just tune in to the rhythms. There is a subtle and yet a vital difference that distinguishes you from the rest. The sense organ, ear, lets the listening happen. The mind accepts the tune and the body adapts to the tune and thats what is called the dance. Firstly, one needs to be well equipped with the skills and thats what is called confidence. Without a proper knowledge and practice of the skill, one would only turn out to be a laughing stock on the floor. Once t...

~ Intellect~

Let us a take a look at the transformation of a simple metal plate into a knife. The metal plate when processed through various stages gets shaped into a sharp instrument used primarily for cutting etc. Have you noticed, the process doesn't get completed in just sharpening the blade. It takes a complete shape only when a wooden handle is provided on one end. The one edge of the sharpened blade gets fixed into the wooden case, thereby, providing strong and comfortable access to the usage of the instrument. Left without a wooden case to hold, the blade still remains a sharpened tool but dangerous even to the user. Try holding a sharpened blade and make use of it. May be, your hands would bleed first even before making use of it. When looking at the mind, intellect and its connectivity to the Self, i felt it is easier to understand and relate it with the example of the knife. Intellect, as a sharpened blade is essential to discriminate, execute. It becomes a dangerous tool only when i...

~ Levels of Awareness ~

Beware of Ignorance Be Aware of Self! That which begins as a practice Becomes a part of the whole Nothing new that never existed is going to be introduced for practicing. Yet, there comes a moment when each of us are introduced to discover our own self through various means. Body exists from the time of birth, yet the real feel of that first moment is experiential. Same with breath too. Breathing has been happening but when we enter into its realm with that touch of awareness then on the Real living begins. Ignorance in a way acts as the backdrop for awareness. In life, when we begin to learn some art or anything, we tend to have a total focus on the job. Like when we first begin to cut vegetables, the eyes, the hands and the mind are in total focus. Its the practice which eventually leads to evolution. Perfection sounds more like a finite one. But with subtleness, it just expands to nowhere. The taste of the self which begins as a practice eventually grows to expand in awareness. Focu...
