Our life's were simple and straight, till we did not use much of our mind. Our duty and responsibility was to listen to the parents and elders, apart from the Teachers and Guru. Just follow the path.
But having 5 sense organs which open towards to the outer world, we wavered. What we saw and liked, we Desired. What we Heard and sounded good, we Desired. What we smelt and found good, we Desired. What we tasted and liked, we Desired. The touch, the feel that we liked, we Desired.
On each and every step, the Maaya had laid its trap, be it a beautiful woman or handsome guy. Any or every feature appeared attractive and we started to get attached.
Our likes, wants and desires started right from the childhood. Be it a book, notebook, pencil or rubber or school dress and shoes. As our wants got fulfilled through the parents and elders, our desires kept increasing as we grew. It now became, Mobile, Laptop, tabs and fashionable outfits.
If we just see through, we will understand that the each wants had a limited sphere of life. It's requirement and interest in it was always on a diminishing path, starting from absolutely required to oh, I could have done with out it, as new products arrive in the scene.
We always promise, not to seek for more, but once we have it, we have our next demand on hand. The mind keeps us focused on the outer needs and With abundance to choose from we falter.
The Master's say, we have forgotten the purpose of this life. The purpose was to go back to our True Home and meet our True Father, The Lord. All we needed to do was live in His Remembrance, Do Prayer. Just follow the path.
But our Desires have taken us far away from the Lord. We are now stuck in a no man's land. Our worldly desires will only worsen our case.
The only escape path to curb our instinctive worldly desires is to pray to The Lord. Do as much meditation as possible and control our wandering mind.
The ONE medicine for all our problems is Meditation. Let us start doing it now and devote as much time to meditation as possible.
