Guest guest Posted April 19, 2000 Report Share Posted April 19, 2000 I was just sharing some thoughts on it with a friend. Lets look us at human beings. What are they made up of ? Evryone is trying to figure out this. Isn't it interesting i don't know who am i ? Knowinlgly or Unknowingly we are always trying to find answer to it ? And Everyone's life is spun around this question. Body + Mind + Prana ( Life Force) + Atmaa (soul) It's our soul that enjoys evrything through the faculty of Body, Senses, Mind and Prana. The basic thing that we always look for is eternal happiness. We try to find it in money, food, relationships, jokes, humour but we never find it there. Wise ones after having looked outwards then look inwards to find it. When we get the taste of the inside happiness it's then that we become naturally detached from the outside world. Beacuse we have found a source that gives more happpiness and contentment as compared to things enjoyed through senses and outside world. In order to turn their mind inwards people practise different disciplines of not doing certain acts. Beacuse the mind is the faculty through which we can gain experience. If it is projected outwards then we gain knowledge from outside world and if we project it inside then we will gain knowledge about the inside world. Body, Mind is a tool through which we can gain knowledge. And if there is anything that makes us loose our mind or if we loose our mind then i guess the whole purpose of life gets defeated. But the real detachment occurs when the inner happiness gets established in us. In this state we don't have strive to look outwards or inwards for happiness rather we are just happy irrespective of what happens or watever we do. This state is something like rising above the thoughts of Attachment - Detachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
