Knowledge and Aspirations

Knowledge and desire, these words sound like there is no match between them. If you ask yourself a question, how do Knowledge and Desire relate to each other, Most of you will get into thinking that, How? to get an answer to this we must first know what are Knowledge and Desire.





What is Knowledge?



Knowledge is the product of curiosity. If you find something curious, you will try to gain more details about it, you will do google, will read books about it. And honest efforts of you will help you to increase the knowledge on that particular thing eventually. But you never feel curiosity anymore, right?. If you remember, when you were a child, you used to ask many questions to your parent or teacher. But as you grow up, you became more and more materialistic, you killed the innocent child within you, you killed the same curiosity that represents you.





What is Desire?


First, let us understand that the word desire is used in different contexts in western and eastern philosophy. In the west, desire means - 'a strong want for something' So when Napoleon Hill mentioned that desire is the starting point of success, he just meant that to be successful, you need to strongly want to be successful. The reason that this philosophy is advocated in the west, is because a strong desire for success leaves no room for excuses.

However, in the Indian philosophical context, desire means - a strong infatuation with something. So in the context of the Gita, if you desire something, it's like becoming infatuated to something - your thoughts get clouded, your decision-making powers are numbed and your mind drifts to a state of limbo. Under this state, there is hardly any progressive work that you can do.




Desire, Expectation, are the drivers of human society. If someone asks you who you are, consider what your answer will be. You will immediately be able to know that your wish is the interpretation of your life. You get success by getting something or failure by not getting anything. Most people live in such a way that they die from within but cannot kill their desires. Desires make them run just like a hunter to their prey. But in the womb of these desires, there is also the light of Knowledge. How? when the desire is incomplete and broken, then the ray of Knowledge enters the human heart.

Knowledge is the eye of desire and can become the pilot of the soul.

What causes quarrel.

Everyone in society is always worried about the increase or decrease of their influence. Unknowingly, everyone keeps thinking about how my impact can be maintained; whatever I say, that thing should be final. In any case, my statement should be obeyed, meaning that my power should be maintained and my influence should also be maintained. Such a mentality is found in everyone, even if you are unknowingly a victim of this thinking. After all, what is this effect, what is the thought of having an influence style?  From the moment we start worrying about our influence, that moment we fall victim to our airs and stubbornness. We do not even know, and we get affected by the feeling of force; whoever does not listen to us or argues with us, then we also see his simple arguments as a challenge to our power. He starts to look like an enemy. We get down on erasing it. Day and night, we start planning for that person's downfall; a result of his influence is seen, which we have never imagined....

Reason for man's apathy.

Image
Apathy is the feeling of the heart in which we are not interested in anything. We do not get excited about doing anything. When apathy becomes worse when it reaches its climax, it becomes a disease of the mind; the man starts liking death more than life. We all experience indifference at some point in life. The heart filled with despair, and we abandon the work. Our indifference is mainly for some time, so we do not recognize the loss due to it, but apathy gradually takes the form of habit and repeatedly leaves all tasks incomplete. Does it not happen to us?  Apathy is the name of the state of mind in which we see the cause of our problems. We say society is terrible, servant or master is wrong, husband and wife's behaviour is bad, life's situation is unfavourable, time is not supporting us. When, despite the cause of sorrow, we have no way to change it, we wonder how we can change the time and change the circumstances. That is, we consider ourselves selfless, which leads to in...

Difference between Love and Attraction

Image
What is Attraction? Attraction means the charm that we cannot be miss. Such a strain that we cannot control. To get something, we put everything at stake. The reason for that attachment can be a person, an authority, an asset, or an item. Just as iron does not get rid of magnets, we do not get rid of our attachment in the same way. We believe that our attachment is the most profound form of our love. Is it not true? Do we not consider attraction as love? What is the difference between love and attraction? We always think that our attraction is our love, but we will know that there is a primary difference between love and attraction if we feel deeply. When there is love, we wish for someone's happiness, and when there is attraction, we want for our needs. Just thinking so much, we immediately understand the difference between love and attraction. When we have passion for a person, we try to give pleasure to them, and when we have an attraction for them, try to get self-pleasure thro...
