Meditation on pleasure and pain: the pain will lead to self-image

Phoenix

Krishnamurti, was a philosopher of India, the West has a broad and far-reaching impact. His life's teachings are to help human beings from fear and ignorance in the complete relief, compassion and understanding through music to the realm. In the "Book of Life", his meditation on pleasure and pain, it is a busy modern thought.

Happiness is not seeking the

What you call happiness? Argued happiness is to get what you want, for example, you want a car, and you finally get it, so you feel very happy. I want a piece of clothing or to go play in Europe, and these things are done, so I feel very happy. Or I want to become the greatest statesmen, if done, I will now be content, could not do it, I would moody music.

What is happiness in the end, happiness is not something we can realize that kind of thing? When you realize that your own happiness, the feeling that happy? Or once recognize that they are happy, not happy? Is so happy can not be obtained, as if aware that he is humble, no longer the humble. Happiness can only come naturally, if you go for it, it will escape you.

Happiness is not a feeling

The mind can never find happiness, happiness is not a feeling that can be found in you. You will constantly find yourself up some raw feelings, but happiness can not be found. Those who disappear are not happy things, all things will end just a feeling nothing. Memory is always the old, old memories are always some emotions, but not happy mood.

You know are some old things, such as some of the nostalgic feeling of psychological reactions and memories, but memories of old can recognize happy? It can only remember the joy of the past. Recognize happiness, happiness is not real, because identification is generated from the memory response. A memory and experience with complex heart, it is possible happy? To identify this activity in itself would prevent us to experience joy. When you become aware of yourself in the joy, the happiness still exist? When happiness does occur, you will become aware of it? Self-consciousness only conflict and contradiction - arising due to memory conflicts and contradictions. Happy and memory is irrelevant, any one level of thinking are generated from the memory response, thus fueling the conflict is always thinking. Thinking is a sense by, but not a happy feel by. Pursuit of some kind will always feel satisfied by, but not a happy outcome, it can not be obtained.

Happiness is not the media

We always through things, relationships, ideas and concepts to the pursuit of happiness, these things become more important than happiness. This explanation sounds simple, but the fact is the case. We always through the property, family and fame to the pursuit of happiness, then property, family and fame becomes more important than the happiness. If by some means to achieve the happiness, the means itself will destroy its target. Happy to borrow from our minds and hands reached it? Things, relationships and concepts are clearly uncertain, they will only make us unhappy ... ... things will one day be destroyed, will disappear; relations in friction, one day it will end; concepts and beliefs are also not eternal. We find happiness in these things inside, unaware that they are impermanent, so the pain will always be with us.

To find the true meaning of happiness, we must explore how self-awareness is one thing. Self-awareness is not the end. The source of the river really do? Every drop of water will contribute to the formation of rivers. Imagine that one day he will find the source of happiness is a very wrong idea. Only self-knowledge into a flood, you will find happiness.

Nothing to do with the joy of mental activity

We can continue to enjoy our way of changing continuously from a fine idea to another, but the core has never changed, that "I" is always there - which is always a "me" in there to enjoy the pursuit of happiness, constantly struggling to become more and more elegance, but do not want to stop their activities. Only when the "I" cease all activities after the fine, there can not be obtained from music - a painless and will not encroach on the joy of being. Beware of thinking beyond the self-centered activities, that were experience, observers and thinkers disappeared before being found not to meddle in the joy. Our hearts are always in the pursuit of eternal happiness, but desire to continue happy is a corruption of the mind. If the whole process to understand life and not to judge right or wrong, it kind of does not belong to you I will be happy and creative. The kind of happy like the sun in general, if you put it for himself, it is no longer the bright, warm, to nourish all of the sun. Similarly, if the desire for happiness based on pain, because the loss of a person or nothing but the pursuit of happiness, then your quest is a reaction. Happiness is nothing to do with mental activity, so search your heart to stop.

Understand the causes of pain

Why should we explore what is happiness? Because we are not happy group of people, our hearts filled with struggle, vanity, trivial thoughts and painful emotions, all around us filled with meaningless things.

Although we have profound knowledge, although we have money, a car, there are many experienced, lived in a mansion, and many descendants, we are still not happy. Because we are not happy, so happy will be committed to the vision of those people - political, economic or religious leaders control.

To explore the suffering of people happy, what meaning does this matter? I have no understanding of the causes of suffering is the real key. The pain disappears, happiness is there, but when I realized it, it is no longer happy. So I have to know what pain is. If my heart has been in the pursuit of happiness, always wanted to escape from painful feelings, I could understand how pain is the same thing? If I really want to know the pain this thing, we can not exclude it, crispness excuses, blame it , carries it and compared to other things; I have to coexist with it completely, and the depth to understand it.

If I know how to listen, you will understand what is happiness. I must learn to listen to the hearts of the pain, to listen to the pain, we can understand what happiness is.

The cessation of suffering

Pain is grief, uncertainty, or a thorough sense of isolation. We will be because of death, not praise or not being loved and feel the pain. There are various forms of pain, if not understand the pain, the hearts of the conflict, unfortunately, can not stop corruption or decay down.

Pain you can get some sense, some do not realize - one could not find the reason for the pain. Most people know how to deal with the pain that can be realized, we are not through religious belief to avoid it is to rationalize it or serving some of the sedatives, otherwise it will borrow from the cranky, entertainment and other superficial things to avoid it. We do do this sort of thing, but still can not get rid of the obvious pain.

There is another inherited thousands of years in the unconscious suffering. Even if we seemingly happy, and want things have been, but still can not remove the root of suffering. So when we talk about the cessation of pain this time, we are referring to is to stop down all the distress, including surface and the subconscious. To stop the pain, your heart must be clear and simple. Do a simple matter people are not so simple, you must have a degree of wisdom and sensitivity Caixing.

Will lead to painful self-image

Why do we worry divided into light and heavy, primary or secondary? A deeper understanding of any small problems, they may reveal all the problems. Such as anger, jealousy, envy or resentment like trouble, we are very familiar, if not to further anger the problem put it aside, what happens? You angry because you hurt, why would you injured? Because self-important sense, is not it? But why do you have a sense of self-important?

You set yourself up for some of the ideas, images, or how to be the standard, but why would you create for yourself some image come from? Because you never really studied their own. We always thought that they should meet certain ideals, such as when the hero sort of thing. Hearts will be students from the angry, because this image has been attacked, but we hold their own views, it is the truth of their own kind of escape. If you can observe their own truth, no one can hurt you.

For example, a person is lying, and others also pointed out the fact that he was lying, then this person if you admit to lying, they will not think they hurt. But this person is lying if he did not pretend, because people will naturally feel angry accusations. So we always live in a world constructed by the concept, we never live in reality where. To observe the reality is, it can not be critical, measure, opinions or fear.
