MAN’S OBSESSIONS

Leave a Comment

Man is obsessed with four things; his life, reality, his happiness and his ‘I’. The former two are not under his control, but the latter two are. He can do everything about his happiness and his ‘I’.


If he replaces his ‘I’ with ‘We’ that includes the entire universe of which he is an infinitesimal part, everything changes for him. But, that depends on his understanding and concept of ‘reality’ or ‘the reality of his life, in particular; and, the reality of life, in general’.

Either he knows that his ‘I’ is included in ‘We’ and ‘his life ’is included in ‘the life’ or he does not. Perhaps, there is no quotient to measure this knowledge; either he knows or he does not. If he does not know, he dies a million deaths before his death, which he is well aware of. But, if he knows that his ‘I’ is actually ‘We’ and ‘his life’ is ‘the life’; maybe, he continues living happily, at least till he can remain settled in this knowledge. The people with great knowledge invariably referred about this ‘reality’ and called it ‘the truth’.

The good thing is that the man possesses the natural knowledge of carrying his obsessions during his journey to happiness, but the bad thing is that he lacks genuine ‘desire’ and enough courage to resolve his obsessions.
