Practical: Make a list of your desires Find out if these needs be fulfilled by Right Understanding, Relationship and Physical Facilities, or anything more is needed? Eg: What I am, relationship, respect… Right Understanding Ensuring right feelings… RU + Feeling in Relationship Food… RU + Physical Facility Where is most of the effort – for Right Understanding, Feelings in Relationship, Physical facility You can do this exercise in your family
Ex: Sitting in a hot room… you are uncomfortable & unhappy Q: Does an AC help you resolve your discomfort & unhappiness? • An AC does resolve the discomfort • Physical Facility is a solution for needs of the body ? RIGHT UNDERSTANDING (le>) in the self ? 1 AIR CONDITIONER RELATIONSHIP (laca/k) with human being
Ex: Sitting in an AC room… with someone you are opposed to… Q: Is the feeling of opposition naturally acceptable? Or do you want to get rid of the feeling of opposition, to resolve the relationship? • We can see that an AC has no impact in resolving relationship • Physical facility does not have any lasting impact in relationship. E.g. A gift can atmost distract attention for some time – it is not a solution • Only right understanding about relationship, and continuity of right feelings in oneself helps resolve relationship ? RIGHT UNDERSTANDING (le>) in the self ? 1 AIR CONDITIONER OPPOSITION IN RELATIONSHIP
Ex: Sitting alone in an AC room… thinking about one you oppose... Q: Does the AC help you resolve the contradiction in your thoughts? • We can see that an AC has no impact in resolving contradiction in thoughts (physical facility does not have any impact on understanding in the self) • Only right understanding helps resolve contradiction in thoughts ? CONTRADICTION IN THOUGHTS ? 1 AIR CONDITIONER RELATIONSHIP (laca/k) with human beings
I desire for happiness If I am not aware that right feelings (trust respect … love) in me is a source of happiness for me Expressing these feelings to the other can be a source of happiness for the other Leading to mutual happiness Then I have only option, i.e. to draw happiness from physical facility (includes sensation) even though it is not continuous (tasty & necessary… intolerable) Once I become aware that right feelings (trust respect … love) in me is a source of happiness for me, I start paying attention to it Then My dependence on physical facility (including sensation) reduces
While I do not want to fight, a fight takes place… I try to resolve it by giving a gift (tasty food, nice clothes etc.). Sometimes this works… Now I can see that it only shifts the attention from the fight to the gift, and only for a short time… In a few days, another fight takes place, and this time it is of greater intensity… Now I can see that it is due to lack of right understanding about relationship I have been trying to fill this gap by more and more sensation The happiness I draw out of physical facility (including sensation) is not long lasting; I get bored by one sensation… so I go for another The happiness I get from feelings is long lasting, continuous. My need for getting these feelings from the other is also continuous Right feelings (trust respect … love) in me is a source of happiness for me
