Afflictions

What is it that decides a mind to be in a particular state? Why is it that inspite of knowing about the karmic bondage the mind revels in ignorance? All very intriguing questions, all arising from the same mind wanting to control ones destiny against all odds. The bondage created by mind has exceeded the relationships created by the material world giving rise to an indiscriminately high force of attraction making it impossible to detach ones own self from any karmic compulsions. Desire to acquire the unreal, dictates the thoughts of possession in a universe governed by Maya. Maya in turn manifests itself in every form creating a life force unlike any other. So what do you believe in? Is it not intended for man to be influenced by everything he doesn't understand? If not, why would there be a lack of awareness? The purpose of ones existence appears to be rooted in salvation and in being the one who frees himself from Karm.

The question arises, however, why if God decided to endow mankind with the power to think and articulate, would he create a mind which doesn't affirm to the narrative described as fate? Sri Krishn had once said 'everything causing fear is the creation of mind. Doubts arise when expectation rises more than affection.' If true, then why does hope always direct the heart toward an unexpected gain?

The human mind has probably been the subject of research since times immemorial. Even then it is not clear how exactly does the dialogue with oneself occur. Who exactly provides the counter points giving the ability to mentally calculate and choose? What is it exactly that produces emotions giving rise to moral justifications?

The only true matter which remains unresolved by history as well as science is love. No person has ever sanely justified the reasons or laws governing love. It remains a mystery yet to be solved and has rightfully remained outside the boundaries of human intellectual capacity. Rightfully, because if man were to define love, there will never be any motivation left to propel the future. While the emotionally supercharged feeling is very real, no one is able to accurately describe it. The theory of cause and affect does not seem to apply as love can happen to anyone at any time.
