Anger, Sex - We have never ever taken out time and willingness to
understand these two highly tabooed things. We have never tried to find
out why are they tabooed in the very first place. What politics is going
on undercover by the authorities and a virtually existent thing called
society ? We are given instructions about them - not to be angry, be
careful of physical intimacy, but we were never demonstrated how to use
intelligence to inquire and understand the very nature of these and
other emotions like hatred, jealousy, pride, sorrow, suffering, love.
These are very truly considered to be "HUMAN NATURE" .. Ha ha.. Nature..
What do we understand or know about Nature. We include all the green and watery and animalistic things on this planet under this umbrella of Nature. But we exclude Human beings as else we will be just another part of nature. At present the widespread world view is that humans utilize/ exploit this planet and nature. Which totally implies that we are separate from nature. So, then what do we know of human nature??
How can we know of something which has been, since eons, masked from the very beginning ? And that is why then the study of the sub-conscious becomes necessary. " pehle chhupao, fir khojo".
The basic problem with us is that we don't let things be, and firstly we don't let ourselves be. And once this process of masking and make up starts, its like a rumor which spreads like addiction. And then only we suffer, when we have moved away from our basic state of being and have been lost in becoming thus imposing layers and layers of make up on us. Through understanding and not escaping, life can be lived im-mediately, directly, in aliveness. But why would mind accept a thing that is so simple. maja nahi aayega naa, there will be no stories..
Its so simple to live, to really Live. But mind likes to sophisticate things, complicate things and then create stories and then try to solve the problems in a confused state of mind. Haha... It just cannot accept the simplicity of nature.
Very recently - a statement came out of the mouth of a physically close ,so called relative of mine - "agar aap ke jaise do chaar aur aadmi ho jaayen India mein, to zindagi ka saara rang/romance hi khatam ho jaye" (on my not purchasing clothes etc. often).
I say - " dil ko behlaane ke liye Ghalib ye khayal achcha hai"
