Joys and friends - your real enemies!



Joys and friends – these are your real enemies! It might seem ‘crazy’ but, it is the reality when you look from the ‘spiritual’ point.

First of all; ‘why anyone is attached to the world?’; simply because, they find joys and dear ones in the world. If you don’t have ‘joys’ and ‘dear ones’ in the world do you love to live in the world? The people love the world, they want to live in the world because – they love the joys in the world, they have attachments here in the world, they have ‘friends and relatives’ in the world. But, this ‘attachments’ though might be good from the worldly point, might be good to live in the world, they turn out to be ‘obstacles’ and ‘hindrances’ when looked from the ‘spiritual point’.

Philosophy and religion teach us to ‘abandon’ the world in pursuit of ‘god’ or ‘heaven’ or the ‘eternal truth’. People are unable to go after that ‘eternal thing’ just because, they find something interesting here in the world, they are attached to something here in this world, they have friends and relatives, they have their own joys in the world – and these arrest the people from going away from the world, towards the ‘god’.

In fact, only these – joys and personal attachments and relations compel a person to do all sorts of ‘crimes’ and ‘sins’ in the world. After all individuals do crimes just because, they want to fulfill someone else or just they love something. If this is not the case, there would be no ‘crimes’ in the world.

Speaking spiritually the ‘joys and friends’ in the world, arrest the progress of the soul towards the ‘god’, binding the ‘soul’ to the world. whereas the ‘diseases’, ‘pains’ and ‘problems’ in the world will help the soul to move up in the ladder, toward the ‘god’. After all anyone wants to abandon the world ONLY because, they find some problem in the world. So, these ‘problems’, ‘pains’ and ‘diseases’ in fact help the ‘soul’ on the spiritual way – driving you away from the world, towards the ‘god’.

Looking in the spiritual angle; the ‘problems’, ‘pains’ and ‘diseases’ in fact do a great help to the beings leading them towards the ‘god’ but, the ‘joys’ and ‘friends’ are harming the ‘soul’ binding the beings to the world.

So, it is not wise to dislike the ‘problems’, ‘pains’ and ‘diseases’ and equally it is unwise to have attachments towards ‘joys’ and  ‘friends’ in the world. The wise way is to accept whatever that comes into your life – as it is only for your ‘good’ in one or the other way. So, if ‘problems’, ‘pains’ and ‘diseases’ enter your life there is no need to weep – they come to help you so, accept them knowing this truth and they will not be painful anymore.
