Can
we avoid unnecessary arising love thoughts or attraction towards someone?
I guess it is impossible to know a
thought before it comes in the mind. You
know them as they come, and if they are stupid, you will simply laugh at them
and they will move away. But I
personally think that if your inner faculties are strong, you will let go of
the stupid thoughts of love and all, and not act on it. Thoughts arrive anyway. But you choose to act or not act – through awareness.
Attraction towards opposite sex is
nothing but kind of mandatory thing. People
find themselves helpless when they see an opposite sex. But here would like to throw an example that
is – A sleepwalker has no control over where he is or what he is doing. He simply walks. Today, mostly everyone is a
sleepwalker; few act out of awareness. So
don’t push yourself in that category. Be
alert and aware of things. You should
know that we act on the strongest impulse.
If you are aware and acting, that is the right action.
This attraction and arising love thoughts
in your minds gives you endless joy. Forgive
me if I’m wrong but I’ve observed that most people think the joy they feel is
in the object, is it so? That’s why they assume that an opposite sex is the
object of their joy. But I think joy is
in their senses. Joy is in the capacity
to relate the object with the self. And
the peak of any sensory or sensual experience takes you inwards. If you look at
a beautiful scenery or girl/boy you say “Wow!” and you close your eyes
immediately. That’s how you react at
moments. Having control over senses will
not lead you to regret peak. Each of the
senses leads you to a point deep inside you that is the fountain of joy.
The joy from touch, sex, sight, music,
smell or taste comes from a source deep within.
And if you don’t move within to that point, joy is short-lived. And if
you are just clinging to the external object, it no more gives you joy or
pleasure. People are not joyful, they
are the opposite – they are miserable.
I must say this world is a beautiful
package. The world is not so bad. It is gift-wrapped. But if you are stuck with the wrapping paper,
you will not even open it. You won’t see
the gift inside the package that has been given to you. That is what most people do – hold on to the
wrapper outside. Last few lines as a
request to you people is that have control over your senses and act only on
those thoughts which you will find beneficial.
Don’t go mad over a love story. Don’t
roam around in seek of your story. It just
happens, so just wait for your turn till then do not let unnecessary thought
get over you.
