"Boredom can be interesting"
--
(Continued, ...;) )
There is a state of mind which, when experienced though nameless, is given this name 'Boredom', and we think we understood this phenomenon that we have named 'Boredom'. Obviously, as J.Krishnamurti has repeatedly said:
'The description is not the described'.
And that is the point, where we fail to see that the state 'Boredom' and the word 'Boredom' have nothing in common. While the word is uttered either aloud or in thought, the actual state of mind may not be that which one tries to express through this word.
As soon as the experience is experienced, it is replaced by the word. But if we don't hurry to name it, we can see an altogether different transformation in consciousness that happens on its own, without our attempt to bring in it.
If the attention is not identified with the word, it at once stands still. Its not a movement inward or outward, rather it is a movement in silence and awareness (of being).
If we miss this point, the attention soon gets lost in any other mental activity associated with thought and memory. For example, we find out an alternative, an option, there-by affirming and giving continuity to our-self (the ego?) which is also a false notion only that appears a 'real thing' like 'Boredom'.

Thanks Prabhu I got the key of connection of sensitivity and consciousness.
