We are What our Desires are
We humans come in three packages.
The first package of people can only think of:
- Food sleep! ●
- Sex - pleasure!
- Position money! ●
- Name - fame!
- Birth death! .
These people use their mind bodies as a machine, or at best as an animal being, only for temporary pleasure, with no thought given to what the potential of the human mind body is. These people are purely physical with very little intelligence and are a burden upon Planet Earth.
Unfortunately most of us belong to this category.
We live to survive day after day. Like animals from whom we evolved, we eat, sleep, work or hunt, procreate without any thought given to whether there is a purpose to the way we lead our lives.
Then there is the second package of people who are interested in:
- Art poetry ●
- Painting sculpting ●
- Dance music ●
These people are more evolved than the first category and use their mind body as a thinking and learning entity that can emulate a little of the nature's beauty that they perceive around them. These people work from their hearts as artists and create lasting treasures of literature, art, music etc.
The last category of people is a rare group, and these people truly have realized what they are capable of, what their potential is and they work from their being level. They have:
- . Clarity - Compassion
- Peace Equanimity ●
- Calmness Bliss ●
These people understand who they are, what they are here on this Earth for, and realize that the potential of their mind body system is that of a super conscious being, not just another living entity and certainly not a machine.
Such people are the enlightened beings, who tread lightly upon Planet Earth and whose presence sanctifies the ground they walk upon.
The Brihadaranya Upanishad (scripture) says hauntingly:
As our desires are. so is our will is, so are our actions; as our actions are, so we become.
Our destiny is foretold by our desires. Nothing happens by chance.
What do we wish to be? Who are we? How do we use our mind-body system?
Do we crawl like a snail or a worm? Or do we want to fly like the butterfly?
The decision is in our hands. Whatever we decide is certainly possible.
Our life will shape up based on our decision. Decide!
