Desires

I always feel that we humans have a tendency to escape, laze and remain detached. It comes so naturally to us. But this centrifugal force is so destructive: if you indulge in this state of mind you don't exist!

Now what is the counter force? Nature has provided us with a tool which keeps you illusioned and smiling. You continue to believe that it is all real. And that tool is Desire. You taste it once in any form and you ask for more. It keeps you hooked to this thing called life. And the strongest of all the desires is sex!

Sankhya

Bottomline of Sankhya philosophy:

"Borrow and enjoy this materialistic world. Borrow more and indulge more in your enjoyments. After all you don't pay back the borrowed money once you are dead."

What does it mean? Does it promote one to become a materialistic person? No, actually the underlying message is "Be happy and don't cling to materials or anything because everything is mortal including the money, materials and you."

plus minus zero

There is so much pain and sorrow around. But then there is so much joy too. There is death and then there is life. These two opposite forces create this mortal conscious world.

Isn't it interesting that finally these two individual forces sum to nothingness - zero?

I am nothing and I "live" in this void world - scary!

Let us move on, mind!
