Fear and desire are the fundamental energies that drive our lives. We act either out of a desire to achieve something or out of a fear of not wanting to experience something. Attraction and repulsion are not merely forces of molecules but also essential to human behaviour. One of the manjor driving forces in human life is desire. If you look in to your life, you can see most of the time we are driven by either desire or fear. We have so many desires and many times we feel we dont have the energy to fulfil them. According to the Jain tradition, the Divine sends us with enough energy and capacity to fulfil all our desires, but most of us dont feel this way. Why?
There is a difference between out true desires and borrowed desires. Our true desires are called our needs.Borrowed desires are called our wants.
we do need funds for education. of i do agree but the real need is a committment to any cause one pursues. if u look at the sate of affairs in ural areas and state run institutions, i feel money itself is not enough. teh blame on inadequate funds is only an excuse, it is like someone saying i did not have time to eat so i stayed hungry for 10 days. I feel there is a need for mental reforms rather than physical refomrs.
ReplyDeleteoh thats pretty philosophical yeah. anyway there is no life without desires and no desires without life. need motivates us to work and work motivates us to get more desires. so where is borrowing?

ReplyDeleteAs a consumer behaviour theory suggests, your actions are derived from the actions of others...so you tend to borrow those in turn to further manifest your wants and greed. These more desires that we get from more work are infact the borrowed desires...
