Passions

[Guest guest]

Question : "How am I to deal with my passions? Am I to

check them or satisfy them? If I follow Bhagavan's

method and ask, 'To whom are these passions?' they do

not seem to die but grow stronger.

 

Answer: "That only shows you are not going about my

method properly. The right way is to find out the root

of all passions, the source whence they proceed, and

get rid of that. If you check the passions, the may

get suppressed for the moment, but will appear again.

If you satisfy them, they will be satisfied only for

the moment and will again crave satisfaction.

Satisfying desires and thereby trying to root them out

is like trying to quench fire by pouring kerosene oil

over it. The only way is to find the root of desire

and thus remove it.''

 

Another visitor asked Bhagavan, "If I try to make the

'Who am I?' enquiry, I fall into sleep. What should I

do?''

 

Bhagavan: "Persist in the enquiry throughout your

waking hours. That would be quite enough. If you keep

on making the enquiry till you fall asleep, the

enquiry will go on during sleep also. Take up the

enquiry again as soon as you wake up.''
