Attraction Ego Love And Eternal Bliss
At traction towards material objects is called kama, passion. Some psychologists have maintained that the sexual urge, a particular expression of kama is the root cause of all types of mundane attractions and activities. There is more to this, for attraction is the characteristic of all unit entities and such attraction will certainly not always be sexual. It is only because of the urge for self-preservation that unit beings run after crude, subtle or causal expressions. And this urge for self-preservation, too, arises due to the desire for happiness in every living being. Behind every attraction between one entity and another, which we call kama, lies the pure desire for attaining happiness. Happiness is the ultimate desire of life, not lust. Propelled by this urge for self-existence, one who gives indulgence to kama, and runs after crude, subtle, or causal expres sion, is a fool, because none of these can impart lasting peace or protection. If people give indulgence to these, the pyre of passion will reduce them to ashes. Those who seek final beatitude and eternal shelter, should strive for the achievement of spiritual perfection, then the urge for self-existence or happiness will find ultimate consummation. They alone will be truly immortal; they alone will establish themselves in deathlessness. They will attain final emancipation and become established in the Infinite Entity of Supreme Shreya, bliss. There are some psychological causes behind the "endearing" attraction of one object for another, although the basis of all these causes is the desire for happiness and self-preservation. Why is there so much attraction between the hearts ofa brother and a sister? The reasons are: living together in one environment for a long time, sharing the same kind of food and same type of education, sharing the same parental affection. I have already said that the desire for happiness does not depend on "endearing sentiment" alone; rather the attraction of "endearingfeatures" or a pleasing form confuses people. The attraction ofa pleasing form cannot be so easily eradicated by discriminating judgment. Even so-called intellectual and refined people under the spell of superficial charm, often becomeinvolved in crude, antisocial activities. It is only when the Eternal Entitythat lies behind superficial charm and affectional feeling, is recognised that lasting attraction or divine love comes into being. In prema, divine love, the affectionate feeling is not merely enjoyed as an emotion but its essence is realised; and the veneer of superficial charm will not just impart an external dye to make a so-called yogi but, its essential colourealised and will transport sadhakaprofound spiritual meditative statesPreya, kama, remains busy with units only and thus, the ego is the enol such fragmentary units.
