The recent experience

I attended a diksha Shibir for 2 days. It was a truly amazing experience. It was about awareness. The experience cannot be described in words because words will always short fall of the indiviual experience. Some take aways for me were:
If not applied, its a waste.
Consistency is the key to progress.
Be aware.
Love life, Live life, do not complain.
Although mind still wanders but now in the right direction. The effect of the whole thing is self-observance. The realization is that I have been taking everything seriously, my work, my family, my games everything except myself, the inner self. It was rightly asked in the shibir, what do we do differently then other biengs even when we know we have a superior mind. I did not have an answer, atleast from my indiviual perspective, myself. We do the same routine thing as other creatures. We may have some sophostication in everything but nothing different, nothing deep. One thing is sure that you have to go through the shibir to get the experience because everyone's experience is different. Now the only that matters is consistency, awareness and a clean life (be it food, emotions, work).
