We all are equipped with indriyas the five senses and we have to be responsible for their proper use and conduct. Giving up bad conduct and embracing good conduct is the renunciation of badness, and whatever is associated with it. Badness often leads to extremes, and extremes take us away from renunciation. Extremes tempt us to go deeper into fulfillment of desires, rather than meeting basic needs. For example, desire to have food is ok, but to have more and more and more everyday is bad. Desires have to be met in a controlled fashion, in a manner that is self-restraining, and not expansive. To fulfill a basic desire is duty, but to go beyond is greed. Greed is bad, and when the means to fulfill it are limited, it leads to wrong actions. Wrong action drives us away from good conduct, and art of giving up. Truning our backs to good conduct is inaction; often unfruitful, unethical, disreputable, disruptful, dishonourable, seedy and unscrupulous. By not executing the positive action that we should, we actually complicate the consequence of action. What is needed to be renunciated is the bad action and not the good one. We cant escape from action. Action, in fact, follows an inbuilt mechanism in this world. In a broader sense the whole universe is action. I writing this piece, you reading it, someone near you working on a computer, seeds germinating, flowers proding out of their blossoms, the movement of planets, the flight of birds and the like everything is action. Action is motion, and if everything including us renunciates motion, imagine what will be the consequences. What also will be the consequence if we cease to move. Us, and all creatures on this Mother Earth have the impulse to move on. The movement comes from the Spirit; the primordial energy that drives everything. The movement cannot be denied. The movement can be chosen. Good movement, bad movement. Take the transition backwards and it leads you to a thought and its processes. The thought itself is action and induces every other action that follows. And what we think is an abstract entity is in reality a complex interplay of a number of biochemical mechanisms going on within you. These changes further depend on the circumstances that surround you, or with which you identify the most. For example, someone who gets extremely rich is more susceptible to ahankara or ego than a person who is not. What is to be given up is not the riches, and the ego. Visit back next week, and if God wishes, we will have more on this. Should you have any questions or comments feel free to write back. Love.
