So in the last blog we were talking about finding some solutions to our problems. Before we get into this we should realize what is the crux of the problem. What is the Root cause of the problems we face in our life. I hope everyone will accept that desire is the root cause of all the problems. That is one factor. The other one is we have an attachment to our Body. When we shoot a question to anyone like "Who are you?" Most of us will answer that I am my body. So I take my identity through my body. I realise myself as a body, so what happens is any action you do with your body say eating with hands, walking with legs seeing through eyes, hearing through ears will make us to come to a conclusion that we are driven by our body.
So we give more importance to our body and take care of it. So we are so attached to the actions performed by our body and we are very much interested in their end results. What Bhagavadgita suggests is Do your work and don't expect the results. So when we detach ourselves from the result or when we do not think about the benefits we derive due to that action, we will not be bonded due to that Karma (action). when there is no bondage you will not have a reaction based on the actions you have performed. So due to non reaction good or bad karma doesn't affect you. So this is the way you can get relief from the sufferings, disasters you face in your life. But do you realise what it is? So how to get detached ourself from our body. If we are not our body then who we are?
So how many of you have thought on these lines. Just come out of the usual way of thinking and let us try to think out of the box. We are actually our souls. All our souls have taken a physical form on this earth to complete the task in this world. So the next question arises. What is the task we have taken to complete in this world. So how many of you have asked this question? In other words this question is often reframed and asked as "What is the purpose of my life?" So how many of you have got the answer for this?
This argument gives us the answer for why we have so many troubles and hardships in our life.
Two things we should know to get our answers.
- We should get Detached from our body and treat is as a different element. We are not our bodies. We are our souls who has taken the physical form to complete the task in this world.
- What is the purpose of our life? Why we are born into this.
Just think about these two things. Is it really possible to get ourselves detached from our body.
We will discuss about this in our next blog
