The Subject Of Life

 Creating Awareness Is The Only Way:- 

One of the biggest challenges facing us today is setting our goals and priorities. In this age of information explosion it is easy to get swayed in unknown directions that can also lead us into undesirable places and situations. This is an everyday problem confronting all of us. Many of us do not even know that we are heading in the wrong direction. This can be attributed to the lack of awareness regarding the subject of life.

There are two main dimensions along which we can progress to gain awareness about life. The first main dimension is our knowledge about the universally applicable natural principles and the second main dimension is the extent to which we practice them in our daily life. This forms the crux of what is needed to conquer the biggest challenges that we face today. 

This concept may sound a bit illusionary but it is true. Today the situations that we face are the consequences of our actions , the problems are the results of the violation of these natural principles and the comforts are the outcome or the reward of following these principles.

Consider a simple example if there is a teenage school student. She or he gets into the habit of doing certain undesirable activities at the back of her/his parents. Now the problem is that the teenager in question is breaking the trust of parents and will be facing harsh consequences based on this violation of natural principle. The problem in this case is not the actual behavior of the teenager but the fact that the teenager is not aware that by hiding the truth from parents the trust of the parents is getting broken. If the teenager is aware that this act falls in the category of violation then her/his conscious will definitely raise the alarm that every thing is not ok with that particular act. This is the wisdom that starts working for the teenager and the teenager develops better discerning capabilities that can save a lot of trouble in the future life. This is just one example that shows us the value of the concept we are discussing here.

In the above example when the teenager breaks the trust of parents, it sets up a chain reaction that leads to a cascading effect. This can be understood as the tendency of the teenager would be to keep this episode private. This would again lead to another violation where the truth will remain hidden from people who have the right to know about that particular incident. This leads to decisions and associations without knowing the true reality, in a way amounting to cheating. Here we can see that a simple action , when taken under lack of awareness is generating unwanted and unexpected consequences. This also explains why many a times people are caught unprepared when they land into trouble. The main explanation for this situation is the illusion, or the lack of awareness under which they violate natural principles. As they are not aware that they have done something wrong, therefore they do not know what is going to hit them. This is a very deep science and most of the problems and challenges of life can be better managed when the people are educated about the universally applicable natural principles and the effect of following or not following them.

So the base is to create awareness regarding the natural principles, that is the only way to probably lead us away from the problems and challenges to a more comfortable and enlightened life.
