Think Out Your Emotions

I have started writing on Yoga Sutra of Patanjali about 16 days back.

Then suddenly I decided to write on Isa Upanishad a couple of Days back.

While dealing with the Isavasya(Isa Upanishad) Upanishad, I thought of writing on performing Actions without attachment in detail.

Some how it got postponed.

Now I find that Isa Upanishad also speaks on the subject in the sloka I have commented upon.

Hence I decided not to postpone this subject and this post.

(As I was writing on Isa Upanishad, I wanted to write on Nirvana Shadgam of Adi Sankaracarya. I misplaced the Text ; I found it to-day and posts will follow)

Action arises out of desires,

Desires of Feelings,

Feelings of satisfaction of instincts.

We can not help acting on our instincts. they are our Swabhava,Nature' impelled by Gunas.(Refer my posts on Yoga sutra nd Gunas)

We continue seeking the objects that give us satisfaction and happiness.

When we interact with the Object for the first time, we do not have a preconceived notion that it would give us Pleasure.

We come to know of it after we experience them.

So the feelings of Joy oy pain do not reside in the object but in our perception of OUR enjoyment of them.

To remain detached, it is useless to address the issue to these objects, but we need to address the instrument of enjoyment, ourselves.

If we can think out our experiences after our experience of the Object, we will be able to outwit our propensity for enjoyment.

Mere removal of Objects will not drive way your desires, they will haunt your memory and your mind will seek them.

Remaining amidst sense Objects and remain unaffected is true renunciation.

There is this story of Rishyasrunga , a Great Seer, in Ramayana.

Rishyasrunga was a Celibate, A Naishtika Brahmachari.

A Niashtika Brahmachari is one whose semen does not flow downwards, that is, it is not discharged.

Who Owns The World Isa Upanishad 1

The World is run by Principles.

Nothing in the world is without a reason or Direction.

Execution of a simple job needs planning and direction.

The world runs and IS with clock like precision.

These principles remain indifferent to the fact whether one becomes aware of them or not.

We keep on discovering (?) the principles of Nature, repudiating our earlier Theories.

But these Principles are in operation despite our understanding or misunderstanding of them.

To day Science is veering around the view that there isa Central Theory, Unified Theory that links all the Theories of Science.

A Theory requires a Theorist.

'Doubt implies a Doubter, Thinking implies a Thinker'

I Doubt, therefore I AM''-Rene Descartes.

All these principles of Nature require a Master.

There isa Unified Theory.

All things in the Universe are covered by This Principle.

It or He are His.

We are but custodians.

We do not own them or even stake a claim to them.
