I really don’t want to do that but still I don’t know why every
time I end up doing the same thing, I am frustrated, hopeless, what should I do
now… What not I did to stop this but each time I failed and committed the same
mistake… Why do we do which we hate to do? These are the exact words uttered by
us when we do, practice, commit unethical, unlawful or wrong activity.
We have to understand that we are made to do something or
act in certain way but these actions are fueled by state of our mind. As our
mind dictates we follow without hesitation because we are habituated to do
that, we hardly use our intelligence, our discriminating power and agree go
with the nasty mind to repent again later.
Not only us but the mighty Arjuna was also confused, he
asked almighty Krishna that why I am doing which I am not supposed to do? who
is that within me which is propelling me to act in certain way? Lord replied
it’s a mind which is polluted by lust, it’s a sinful enemy of the world. He
stated that this all devouring lust covers the intelligence by different
degrees. Thus, passionate mind subjugates the senses and make them work for the
fulfillment of its unending desires. Soul’s condition becomes like a prisoner.
That’s why it becomes utmost important to curb this restless enemy with the
help of higher powers.
When one practices spirituality, he tries to engages himself
in the service of Krishna who is the master of senses, He thinks of various
ways to serve Krishna thus his passion to enjoy gets transformed into passion
to serve, in other words idea for sense gratification slowly gets off from the
mind leading to the purification of it. The more we give ourselves to Krishna
the lesser the idea of selfishness becomes which is the root cause of sinful
propensity!!
