Ego -The villain
It is the
Ego feeling or "I" thought that craves and the bottom line
for addiction. All mental and physical problems stems from the "I" feeling.
The "I" feeling instead of helping the body, ruthlessly rips off
health of the body. "I" want to experience spicy taste no
matter my stomach hurts and develop ulcers. "I" want to experience to
"refresh" with coffee no matter if it dehydrates my body and make my
body cells suffer in thirst. "I" want to experience dull-mindedness
with alcohol no matter if it hurts my liver and all other body
organs..
The
moment the Ego gets the mind to dance to its whims and tunes, the body is
completely forgotten. But every time when we try these body damaging
experiences some thing in us warns about the consequences and that is our
intellect. The intellect is like a wise minister or counselor who is
concerned about the welfare of the people and of the king . It will warn the
blind's king attitude of dancing to the tunes of its Ego prince as dooming
the kingdom, the body. Such a blind king will wake up only when the citizens
wake up and revolt against the autocratic rule of the king. As we had
discussed earlier disease is an alarm of the dys-functioning of the mind
affecting the body and requires immediate attention. So the waking up call
of the citizens is the disease alarm.
Peaceful kingdom
How can maintain
Peace always?. When the mind (king) rules the kingdom (body) sticking to law
and the advice of the ministers without the selfish attitude of pleasing his
son, the Ego, there would be peace in the Kingdom. A king (mind) who
rules with his own inner strength and not being a puppet in the hands of his
Egoistic son, would bring peaceful reign.
The above kingdom
is an ideal kingdom. But what if there is no peace, there is total confusion
and no direction in life? If there a way out? Can something be done for the
blind king (mind) its own strength and bring peace to the kingdom? Yes and
that is the purpose of this Sakthi Gita. Gita is the essence of
Mahabharata. The above story of our mind and Ego
is the theme of Mahabharata. Our inner conflict is the Mahabharata war.
Reading this Sakthi Gita not only we regain our inner strength but also know
our real nature which is not this body, this mind, the intellect or this
ego. Our true nature is one and the same but called in different names in
different traditions - Soul, Spirit, Atma, God, Consciousness, Peace, Being,
Reality etc.
Healing diseases of the mind and the body.
Through
Sakthi-Gita, one can heal the diseases of the mind and the body. As you have
read in the health section in Sakthi Foundation web page, stress in the mind
is the root cause for all the diseases. At a subtle level, the stress in the
mind is due to its inner conflicts. If we can distinctly see the Ego and
through that we can overcome stress in the mind, addictive habits, inner
conflicts, deep wounds of the mind and all negative tendencies of the mind.
Purifying all these aspects of the mind one can heal diseases of the mind
and the body. This approach is not a temporary solution but a long lasting
approach to regain peace in us, at all levels.
Before introducing this
approach to public on internet , we and our friends tried it and got amazing
results. Many of our friends told us that for the first time they were
able to understand how the Ego plays tricks in the minds. They viewed their
own Ego curbing all their attempts to let free the mind from its prison and
realize its own power. This approach is like an adventure or like watching a
movie since we observe our own thoughts. Through this path we
understand the mystery of the mind.
