Wheel of Desires (2)

[Guest guest]

FREE WILL ?????<br>---------------<br>Do we mean

by independence that we can do anything we like?

Society and laws are there to prevent us from doing our

misdoings. Family puts some restrictions on us and these are

necessary too to check the recently developed animal in us.

But these are not the only boundaries! If we go a

little deeper, we would find that we are not only slaves

of society, country and family but are also slaves

of our own desies as an un-synchronised entity. What

we call Our free desire is nothing but one of the

hundreds of possibilites presented to us by the system.

And our ego selects one of these possibilities, which

accepts all the boundaries imposed, and calls it His Free

Desire.<br><br>The possibilitiies presented before us by Mother

Nature are also not independent in absolute terms. These

possibilities are also affected by the Universal Energies, our

past Karma, The ratio of Three gunas (Sat, Raj,Tam)

and the limitations of Time and Space.<br><br>Today's

human, who boasts of his independence, is in fact a

combination of indisciplined and non-cooperating faculties. A

great struggle is always going on between our Body,

Prana, Budhhi, mind, and ego. All of them present their

demands and budhhi after taking into account the

boundaries, rejects most of them and accepts one of them

which could fulfil all the slavery conditions. This

final desire is also checked by the Universal system

who decides if it is to be fulfilled or

not.<br><br>Is this the indepedence, we had been proud of for

such a long time ?? Searching independence in this

episode is not only childish but also foolish.<br><br>Our

position in this grand universal system is like a small

circle, a tool, who is driven by the Universal energies

keeping in the mind the whole system as one. We are

forced to do certain pre-determined tasks and since our

Sankalp shakti is a shadow of the Excellent, we think we

are deciding and doing it. The fact remains, that in

the whole of the universe nothing is done by the

system to fulfil our personal ego. We just like a Don

Quixote continue our struggle, weeping on the defeats and

laughing on the victories.<br><br><br>(contd)
