Reflex Action
A reflex action is one that happens without the person thinking about it. For instance, if you keep your finger unknowingly too close to a heater, you withdraw your hand immediately without even thinking about it. This is reflex action. But when you put the heater away, so that no body gets burnt, it’s your brain which is sending out instructions to your muscles. It means you are thinking. But in reflex action the brain is not directly involved. It is the spinal cord. When your finger almost touched the heater, the pain receptors in your fingers quickly send out impulses which travel to the spinal cord.
From there, some impulses are relayed to the brain. But impulses are also sent directly from the spinal cord to your finger and that is why you pull back your finger. Sometimes we experience an attack of hiccough. We just cannot stop them. We can call it also a reflex action. Vomiting is a very strong reflex action. In fact, hiccough is considered a half-hearted and ineffective attempt to vomit.
To some people hiccough causes a nagging problem. What exactly causes hiccough? Hiccoughs generally start when hot food has irritated some passage inside. They can also start when gas in the stomach presses upward against the diaphragm is the muscular portion between the chest and the stomach. It tightens and pulls air into the lungs. But air can’t go through and therefore, we feel a ‘bump’ at the moment when the air is stopped.
So hiccough is a reflex action of the body trying to get food or gas out of the stomach. Thereby it irritates the diaphragm which in turns affects the passage of air in and out of the lungs. We feel the ‘bumps’ and call them hiccough.
Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
In order to succeed , your desire for success should be grater than your fear of failure.
Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Divine Rhapsody
Thinking on Thee I forget my pleasures and I forget my pain.
Thinking on Thee I forget my self and all its imperfections.
When I am in Thy sweet Presence
My soul drinks nectar of divine rhapsody.
I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the ten minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha
