Today, we're all running, running for something unknown. We're also running as kids and adults. We need something but don't know what it is. There's something our mind desperately desires, seeking peace and relief. Is it money, cars, or relationships? Or is it something bigger?
Understand Your Problem
We want answers for our problems, but do we know what the problems are? Most of us don't. Some say, "I know my problem; I don't have money, I don't have a car, I'm not good at studies," etc. But are these the root problems? No, they stem from deeper issues.
Our Fake Lives
How many of us are genuinely satisfied with our lives and work? Very few. We appear happy externally but struggle internally. An inner voice reveals our true condition, warning us when we're off track. To suppress this voice, we turn to escapism: intoxication, social media, or other distractions.
Where Does This Pain Come From?
Consider an illness caused by external factors. Do we feel ashamed or guilty? No, because it's beyond our control. Yet, when internal pain arises, we blame external circumstances. This pain stems from our choices, accumulated since childhood.
Animals vs Humans
We believe we're superior to animals, but is it true? The difference lies in our choices. Humans and animals share primary emotions: anger, love, sadness, fear, and laziness. When we prioritize these emotions over self-awareness and truth, we become like animals.
Levels of Mind
Our mind operates on three levels:
1. Ability to think
2. Emotions
3. Self-awareness and knowledge of life's ultimate truth
There's a simple rule: you cannot defeat lower levels with their above counterparts. To control emotions, you must understand the ultimate truth of your life and what really matter.
Summary
Our primary issue is the control of animal emotions. To overcome them, we'll explore self-awareness and life's truth in upcoming articles. Stay tuned.
Thank you.
