THE REAL POWERHOUSE AND MAGNETIC FORCE

[Ms Tercy Lonan]

THE REAL POWERHOUSE AND MAGNETIC FORCE:-Aristotle is known as having said, “I count him braver who conquers his (lover self) desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is the victory over all.” In Buddhist and all Eastern Philosophy it is taught that one must transcend or get rid of all desire. The Buddha said, “With desire the world is tied down. With the subduing of desire it’s freed. With the abandoning of desire all bonds are cut through.” This teaching of the need to transcend and get rid of desire has created a lot of confusion. It has also created a rejection and disownment of the feeling nature. This is not because the statement is untrue, but is because this statement is misunderstood. Lord Buddha also said, “The master never gives in to desire. He meditates. And in the strength of his resolve he discovers true happiness! When your light shines without impurity or desire, you will come into the boundless country! The master cuts all ties. He gives up all his desires. He resists all temptations. And he rises!” It is essential to transcend desire, but what is meant here is “lower self desire,” not “Higher Self desire” Sri Anandamayi Ma said, “You will have pease only if you rise above desires,” It is the desires of the negative ego and the carnal, hedonistic, lower self that needs to be transcended and gotten rid of, not Spiritual desire. The desire body is integrally connected to the Emotional Body and/or Astral Body. The cutting off of desire is the complete Blocking of one’s feeling, emotions, and subconscious energy. It is essential in life to have spiritual desire. A desire to achieve God Realization. A desire to be of Spiritual service. “Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.” (Col:3;2) Without Spiritual desire you will have no enthusiasm and or Spiritual passion. It is not passion we want to get rid of; it is lower-self passion, not Higher Self passion. Passion is connected with enthusiasm. When we engage the Emotional Body in everything we do. We also engage the subconscious mind, which is the real powerhouse and magnetic force that magnetizes and attracts things into our life. “Life by the spirit and you will not gratify the desires of your sinful nature.”(Galations 5:16) The Eastern religions talk about giving up desire. The ideal of life isn’t to give up desire, but rather to only have Higher Self desire. Ideally, your all-consuming desire in life is to attain God Realization, liberation and Ascension, and to be of course. As As Paramahamsa Yogananda said, “To realize God you must want HIM as much as a drowning man wants air.” “Delight thyself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”(Psalm 37:4).
