Relaxing Tension In Life

Why is there so much of greed for sensation? Should i renounce sensation or indulge in it?

When one is in a state of tension for a long duration.there is an inner void. This void is life dust in your eyes. Your effort is to remove the dust from your eyes,as it is alien to your body. Similarly,incompletion is alien to you and it is natural that you put effort to remove it. You attempt to remove inner incompletion through indulgence. You feel different sensations would give you completion.

The greed for sensations increase in completion. The desire for more and more makes you wanting being rather than a complete being. During sleep there is no wanting as you are complete.

Please understand that it does not mean condemning your sense organs. Keep them alive and pure. You must realise that sensations are fine as long you do not get addicted to them. An addiction happens in igroance.Such ignorance spills through sense organs too.

Is there a difference between an ambitious attitude and a meditative attitude?

Yes.

There is a difference . It is like darknees and light. Ambitious keep us always in a whirlpool of tensions with the hope that we will be happy. It wants us to be like others. Or it wants us to be better than others and in the process one becomes bitter.

Can my house be life that of rich woman? or can my house be better than that of my neighbour? You are always lost in comparison but life is simple. Ambition make it complex. Only if you stop the greedy game of going ahead of others,can make you happy.

A meditative attitude is very different. Meditation awakens your awareness. Once your awareness is of high order,you realise the foolishness of comparison,you would not allow others success to define you failure. You would see the beauty of what is and not get lost in what should be.

You would see the uniqueness of yourself. Everyone is unique.Everyone is comparable,you would learn the art of seeing beauty even in imperfection,you would participate in the miracle of life than being busy in judging life. You would listen to the music of life ,you would listen to the mantra of life or song of life. Your listening would be with you.
