By any means, what is your definition of mindfulness?

Question by Wisdombody on "Mindfulness":

I'm new to yahoo! answers, but i'd like to add that my term for mindfulness is making decisions without much thought. We start off as youths in how we communication, our reflexes, or even a task as simple as washing dishes. Simple awareness without mental effort or execution.

Best Answer:

Answer by C. S. C
I would say "mindfulness" is "paying attention". I think what you're referring to is "wu wei" or acting without intention. "Natural action", so to speak. Or "not doing". As if each act is complete, in and of itself, rather than a means to an end.

In the cosmic system every single human being must enact ones karma... only then can we hope of a better society... better standards of living! Since millennia Hindus always kept waiting... even when attacked brutally! Why? Are Gautama Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi responsible for all this! Mahatma Gandhi was one...
