Art in my cube

Haha! I would not call this exactly doodling at my workplace but not serious drawings as well. 2 weeks back, I had wound up 2 projects, completed the documentation and then I had some time to kill before the next round of work! After browsing some websites, and catching up with facebook, writing a blog, I saw the cube wall opposite me! Hmmm.. inspiration comes from strange places.

I googled "Elephants" and got started. 3 pencils and 1 sharpie art ;)

Interestingly the current topic in our Chinmaya study group is "Mind" and it is such a intense topic that is constantly on my mind. Mind is nothing but a flow of thoughts; it exists when the thoughts exist; where do they come from; how we pick it depending on our vasanas; how the intellect should introspect them; and why it is so important! In Buddhism, a grey elephant represents a mad wild elephant just like our restless mind, completely out of control. And then there is the white elephant which means the calm mind completely under control! Are my elephants grey or white?
