When Hearts Embrace Hearts-9
Can't hold the horses!
After playing for a while, it’s natural for kids to get fed up with any fancy toy. Mind sets sight on another. Old ones become unexciting, when one gets a new one. Fantasies keep scuttling from one to another. Even exhilarating landscapes or a beauty spot, if frequently visited loses its appeal. It isn’t our fault. It’s the veracity of us being human. The mind slithers with adding and subtracting one with another. Hands burn in the process of scampering, seeking pleasures!
The biggest threat to a thief is the dog inside the compound of a house. Placating the dog is the only way he could accomplish his task. And, he throws a piece of poisoned meat. Instead of realizing its duty, the dog goes for the meat which ends in a disaster. It’s an example given by Narayana Guru about human beings getting euphoric about deceptive spectacles that loses their footing and ends up in danger.
Man was created from earth. We possess all the characteristics of earth. Its summer sometimes, winter after a while, spring, autumn, high and low tides! Incredible seasonal alterations! With decadent thoughts, how quick the mind gets polluted. They are successful who protects their souls from pollution despite cravings, says Quran.
The mind jumps into filth quickly and effortlessly. And, it’s quite cumbersome to get out of it. As Tagore said, ‘You have to just jump to drown and go down. However, you should know swimming to get to the shore.’
Like the stone thrown upwards starts to descend as soon as it loses velocity, the mind engulfed in fantasies and caprices retreats once it loses charm. The magnitude of liability would have increased by the time one realizes that sins are in fact losses in life. We don’t need more losses in this short life. There are forbidden fruits that attract. There are a few which constantly tries to pull you towards it. Nevertheless, far you throw it, it falls near you. Mind is yet again in the hunt for it. Still, I don’t require it!
