Let us Guide our Imagination

Venkataraman K S

Imagination is not just allowing all sorts of thoughts to rise without any discipline. It is greatly harmful to generate streams of thought whimsically. This habit would pave the way for the creation of negative ideas of fear, worry, etc., and cause problems for ourselves and our well-wishers. We should develop our talent of imagination without losing mindfulness and regularity, and proceed with a clear goal. 

கற்பனையை வழி நடத்துவோம்

கற்பனை என்பது கட்டுப்பாடில்லாமல் எண்ணக்குவியல்களை எழும்ப விடுவதல்ல. சோம்பேறித்தனமாக, மனம்போன போக்கில் எண்ணங்களை ஓடவிடுவது பெருந்தீமை பயக்கும். தேவையற்ற பயம், கவலை, மற்றும் எதிர்மறைக் கருத்துக்களை வளர்த்துக்கொண்டு, தனக்கும், தன்னைச் சேர்ந்தவர்களுக்கும், பிரச்னைகளைத் தோற்றுவிக்க இது வழிவகுக்கும். ஒரு தெளிவான இலட்சியத்துடன், ஒழுங்குணர்ச்சியையும், சுய உணர்வையும் இழக்காமல், கற்பனத்திறனை வளர்த்துக் கொள்ளவேண்டும்.

LIFE IS ON THE JOB EXPERIENCE

Life is a combination of time and energy. This combination finds expression first through desires, then by action, and then by knowledge gained. Desire spurs us to act, which makes us experience the result of the action; that experience teaches us something, which restructures our desires. This spiral activity evolves all living beings. 

Desires spring up from our instincts. We act spurred by desires. Actions lead us to experiences. Wisdom is the effect of experience. That wisdom elevates our desires. The improved desire makes us perform better. This spiral of progress is the reward of life. 

Sometimes, their desires are fulfilled through sensory perceptions. Sometimes, they fail in their attempts and experience anger, frustration, depression, and so on.

Though these physical or mental experiences end, they leave a subtle trace of the experiences, called vAsanas. For, e.g., we drink a cup of delicious bAdAmghIr. The sweet experience enjoyed through the tongue may be over, but the taste lingers in mind as a vAsana. On the next favorable occasion, the memory of bAdAmghIr surfaces and stimulates a desire to drink it again. The vAsanas of pleasant and unpleasant experiences promote, in due course, likes or dislikes, leading to actions for or against the relevant things.

The experiences of life educate us most effectively. The knowledge gained from our experiences is known as firsthand knowledge because it is internalized by us and becomes part of our mental energy.

Desires are the expression of ichchA shakti (power of aspiration) and actions caused by them are the expression of kriyA shakti (the ability of activity). The knowledge we gain through experiences is the expression of gnAna shakti (power of wisdom).

Good desires cause good actions, which in turn elevate our knowledge. From this higher state of knowledge, better desires arise in our minds, leading us to better efforts, and further improving our understanding. Thus, we become wiser and wiser. This spiral action evolves the living beings to noble and enlightened spiritual states in the long run.

On the other hand, if we allow evil desires to activate us, they would lead us to nefarious activities, which would lower our level of wisdom and develop baser instincts. We would become involved in unworthy deeds and become criminals.

If we are intelligent enough, we can also learn suitable lessons from bad experiences. But this is like swimming against the current. It happens very rarely. Sometimes, a true friend or teacher may interfere and lift us up from the effects of bad experiences. We cannot, however, count on these chances.

We should always cultivate good thoughts and noble desires and work for uplifting experiences. The essential components of life are time and energy. It is always moving forward. Moving further, we continue to learn simultaneously through experiences. We should always ensure that our desires, efforts, and lessons harmoniously move in the right direction. Thus, we may ward off all the negative influences of the world and achieve progress in life's physical, mental, intellectual, and spiritual layers.    

Desires spring up from our instincts. We act spurred by desires. Actions lead us to experiences. Wisdom is the effect of experience. That wisdom elevates our desires. The improved desire makes us perform better. This spiral of progress is the reward of life.
