Desires and Wants!

There are times when you do not wish to be angry but confined by the nature, you get angry. There are three types of nature and pertaining to these types there are different attributes that forms our behavior-

Sattavik (Goodness, Constructive, Harmonious)

Rajasik  (Passion, Active, Confused)

Tamasik (Dark, Destructive, Chaotic)

We do our karma as per our attributes and that is how it is expected. A person who has achieved the highest level of knowledge, is aware that we behave the way we are because of our nature. It is their responsibility to make the others understand. We should trust god and handover the lock and key of our karma to him and have faith in what we do, releasing our self from all the emotions that are attached to this world. Concentrating on the deeds and focusing on karma, is the only thing we have to do, irrespective of thinking about the success and failure attached behind it. The aim of life is getting freedom from different life cycles.

There will be many people around us who think they have all the possible knowledge in the world and entangled by the resulted ego and superiority, they keep on bragging about their work rather than actually what they do. Krishna says such people are called as foolish and we should maintain a safe distance from such people. We behave as per the nature we are given and so if one thinks that they can take the work out of you, by making you go against your basic nature, they are doing nothing but literally wasting their time!       

Our senses are made of love and hatred. Any of us falling in trap of these emotions, is like inviting an enemy in the path of our success. Hence, we should think that desire, love, anger, hatred all are our enemies. Each of us should only be concerned only to their own doings and karma. Dying for one’s religion is good but never digress yourself in someone else’s religion.

Have you ever pondered why does a person commit sin; may it be in favor or against the nature? Do you know which factors consent him to do so? Why is one unable to walk on the path as narrated by God and why they tempt to deviate to the wrong ones? What makes them so helpless that it takes nothing for them to own lies and dishonesty? The answer to all these is just one. Desire is the evilest thing. Anger is the by-product of desire and desire originates from Rajoguna. Both of these emotions never end, in fact they keep on diluting your soul to the extent which makes your life, lifeless! The moment one starts getting inclined towards any of these bitter and negative emotions, is the indication to understand that your enemy has started taking grip on you.

Just the way smoke stashes fire, dust murks the clarity of the mirror, amnion covers the embryo, desire suppresses our knowledge. They make us so helpless that we commit sin and therefore, god has tagged desire as our enemy. Everything is within us, nothing is outside us.

Fire’s desire to combust is as strong as a human’s desire to yearn for expensive things, if its not extinguished immediately, it can burn the whole forest. No one has been able to get rid of any desire, it ends the human but wont end itself. Just the way adding fuel to the fire, enhances the flame, same way desire acts as a fuel to the destruction of our soul and ultimately the purpose of life. Before these desires take over senses and mind, we need to kill them from within as it is the anger only that makes us forget the path of karma.

Heart is better than senses and mind is better than heart,  the one that is biggest of all, is our Soul. Heart can be controlled with the intellect of mind, indirectly you will be able to maintain equilibrium on your sense as well. So when senses and heart, both are in your control, mind becomes the leader. This is the way to get connected to god by the means of getting rid of all the desires and dedicating your soul towards your karma and in turn walking on a path to be one with almighty. After all Krishna only said  "Soul is a part of God".
