Material life puts one on the level of realm of anger, lust and hate and when these are present one fails to apprehend the what is. Rather there is a running after things for its own sake, based on illimited desires which binds one further into the material.
As one moves along, besides being caught up in the modes which dictates all actions, the subject does not know what to do or what not to do. One is carried away by the desires through the whims of the mind which calls on for more and more of the same in spite of ensnaring one further and further; deeper into that dense forest of delusion where there is a confusion. In this state one is for ever in friction with negativism abound. A kind of craving creeps in as The Buddha remarks and all one does is follow that set pattern of relentless search towards divisions and more and more in spite of the problems. One carries on in that mode to be so subservient to the diktats of the mind which corners one into subjugation.
Nothing positive vibe wise may be achieved when the categories as mentioned in the opening sentence of this blog are the guideline for one’s way of being and to be sure, a foundation built on such superficialities results not in reaching out towards others but at times seeking ways of how to further fragmentations rather than aim towards a synergy. Hope comes into the equation when and where there is a turning away from the whimsical towards the thoughtful which questions the easily attributed ways of the mundane onto which one is. There are several forms of the modes; whilst that of passion and ignorance and a combination of these may not yield much progress at reaching out as all are egocentric on this format. Likewise, either a separate mode of goodness or that associated with passion in mixed mode also are seen to do some ‘good’ work restricted to an in-built bias as its base is fragmentation and about growing the seeds of hatred everywhere.
Or there is no altruism in minds which are covered by a veil through dogmas at creating a way of being based on trampling on others about them and sure such individuals revel at leading such lives where some are relegated in their scheme as they simply do not belong to their lifestyle or perhaps due to their looks or the way they may speak. There may be little sympathy from them towards such others as their lives are thriving on divisions whilst living verily a superficial existence either through leading or being led by others to perceive life in a way that causes friction. In this sense there may not be, or never will be room to see the frailty of that way of being where anger, hate and friction are the basis. All a question of me and them and or the others.
At an interpersonal level the brutality may equally be seen within a relationship where what matters is no more than wanting to dominate and be seen to have the upper hand. Or, the other may never be seen to have any positivity since one is marred by that veil or mind which has developed into that which may only see the bad and the ugly whilst the good is no longer in their dictionary…. Hence a perpetually putting down of the other and a kind of always carrying aspects of hatred towards some others.Where there is hatred, anger is in operation and where this is so, all clarity is gone and the subject is as irritated giving rise to a constant abuse emerging that is emanating from its being.
There is no rationality as all is blurred and one lives in a realm of control as if to the individual only is given the way to be. All and everyone are thus ignored and the person ventures in its operational path of seeking or maintaining control.
The dangers of going hither and tither is all too obvious. The reins of control have been duped over by the diktat o f the mind and the subject a mere puppet in the procession of movement, marred by a sense of negativism which one subscribes to. Life is set as per a set form dominated by its flickery ways where what matters is a kind of subservience to the whim of the exterior which has taken over.
There is no longer a sense of a goal: that all encompassing one where what is revealed is that overall beauty of being. Instead in the arena is a way confounded by hatred and the subject happily subscribes through it. It is a pure reactionary approach to life as it is. All things are so connived that there can never be appreciation of the other. The other is related to to the point of non entity as it is towards the whimsical which one has made into a way of being.
All else matters little or what matters is that petty self based on a diktat which only sees sense in one’s way and all from a friction and confusion where clarity is a lack. The process of the what is is turned upside down as one arrogantly chooses one’s path having as basis, a lack of credibility due to all being marred at the outset.
Is there a way forward or must one be a victim of negativity where what matters is the veil through which one constantly perceives? Is there an alternative way to be where the other is no longer a threat to my being? Or is that one must always place all hope on an impermanent exterior as assimilated by an equally turbulent mind. Is there a way out of this dilemma of making and first of all controlling that mind which wavers about as it encounters the exterior? What is the way to be? May one try and first of all try bringing one’s mind in control so that it becomes fit for purpose in a world which itself is in flux all the time?
To be sure, it seems there is a sense of attempting to turn the whimsical into a quaint one but all that requires that one firmly sees the frailty of the flickery form in the first instance or a willingness to just be. Is this at all possible? Well over to you dear reader!
