I was talking to one of friends and he made a comment that
if we become what we think about, than why are not more porn stars in the
world?
I thought that was a pretty good question.
We have all heard the statistics in regard to how often men
think about sex. So if there are so many thoughts focusing on sex then why
don’t we see more people whose character is defined by sex? Does it mean that
there is a gap between thoughts and actions? I told him that there is a gap,
not all thoughts become actions.
Actually a thought is the primary function of our mind. Mind
always keeps on thinking of one thing or the other. It burns majority of its
energy in thinking. That is because thought is a bridge between physical world
and inner world. Have you ever pondered from where these thoughts come from,
from physical world or the inner world?
The truth is that it sure comes from physical world or the
outside world for most of us. Our five senses capture it and send it to our
conscious mind or thought level. On the other hand there is a case where for
some people thoughts comes from with in or emotional level. Science calls
emotional level, the subconscious mind.
When these acquired thoughts come out and if it generates
the emotions, those emotions often are negative emotions. Anger and jealousy
are emotions acquired and motivated by situations happening in physical world.
In contrast to this, when emotions are born of inner world or emotional level,
always are positive emotions i.e. kindness, compassion etc.
This difference can easily be seen in a child. He is
thoughtless. He hasn’t developed the thought process. He is simply on the other
corner of the time line. This means he is an angel of Love. An absolute beauty.
The purest of souls.
Of course as he grows old the love diminishes and lust
starts to take over. The reason being that the energies starts to flow from
outside to inside in his thought process and it increases by the day. Negative
emotions consume energy and on the other hand positive emotions generates huge
amount of energy. The children are full of energy and it reduces down as they
grow old.
The sexual energy acquired from outside creates disturbance
in the thought process. It breeds curiosity, which breeds endeavor and than
contempt. It creates a curfew like situation. It creates stress like situation
in the thought level, and needless to say that actions generated by stressed
out thought level will always be awful in quality.
Rape is one such repercussion that we read everyday in our
news papers. This incident can only happen when negative emotions like sexual
energies coup against the thought level. At this juncture the person crosses
the thin line between sanity and profanity and its manifestation is Rape. What
could be a better example of emotional destabilization? But I sincerely believe
that at the moment of rape, if stopped in time, this incident will never
happen. The momentary emotion will pass and the occupied mind will be in
control and thus the situation will be avoided.
The other day I saw a beautiful woman on the road, I liked
her a lot. I saw her radiant face, her beautiful eyes and her enchanting
demeanor. I instantaneously felt like falling in love with this beauty. It was
like first sight love. But this is not a first sight love, this is not even
love. This is called infatuation. Its foundation is laid strictly on physical
appearance. This is initial level of attachment.
The better situation would be to spend some time with each
other and find out that how much you are compatible on thought level, and then
you develop a relationship with each other. It certainly is better than
infatuation. Even though in a layman’s term we would still call it love. But if
you look into the depth of it, it is anything but love. This is the succeeding
level of attachment.
Third level of attachment is when you are attached with
somebody on emotional level. In this case physical appearance does not matter.
It would not matter even if your thoughts are different. Love is felt and can
only be seen when two people are attached on emotional level, and it is not
necessary to be between man and woman. It can be found in its purest and
natural form in a relationship between a mother and a child. You can see it
among friends as well. Where there are no implications. Where there are no
setup rules. You can be what you are.
Dale Carnegie wrote a best seller “How to win friends and
influence people”, and he sold millions of copies around the planet. Why?
Because your success is relative to the number of friends you have. The success
could be in your career or in your family or in social level. Success = How
many people are influenced by your personality.
But how is it possible? I am not convinced with the solution
provided by Dale Carnegie. Contrary to this I am convinced with the formula
provided by Jesus and Buddha and that is the path of Love, and we don’t need
any evidence to know that how many people are influenced by them. So ask
yourself only one question that is how to strengthen your god given emotion of
love, on the emotional level? Emotion
is the fountain head of success.
