Excerpts from the article:Whose desires are you chasing
WHAT IS ACHIEVEMENT ?
Your desires are coming from an influence outside of you.
Because circumstances are not inside, circumstances are all around in which you are there, so desire comes from some place outside
of you and you start chasing that desire. And when you get it, you call it ‘my’
achievement.

Excerpts from the article:Whose desires are you chasing
For example - Desires like getting a
particular degree, a particular job or a
particular salary are all desires which you
derive from society and you start chasing
that desire like your own.
Are they really your desire?
If they are not your desires then how
can it be your achievement?

DO ALL DESIRES COME FROM
OUTSIDE ?
Even your smallest of desires come from external influences.
For example – Your desire of having a pizza
may be induced by a nice smell or aroma
of a freshly baked pizza inside a mall or by
watching an advertisement of a pizza on
television.

SO ASK YOURSELF…

Excerpts from the article:Whose desires are you chasing
If somebody else has the power to
make you work according to their
wish, then are you the master or
the slave ?
Can a slave achieve anything
or
is the command of the master
that he/she is following ?

How intelligent it would be to call the
desires as ‘my desires’ which are
conditioned by the society upon you ?

SO, DOES EVERTHING IMPOSED UPON US ARE FROM EXTERNAL
INFLUENCES ?
There are also influences which we call
as internal, that is, our self or our
mind
but that are also external.

Excerpts from the article:Whose desires are you chasing
What is SELF… ?
Our desire to be accepted and respected
by the society around us which reflects our
ego, which comes from external
influences.

Excerpts from the article:Whose desires are you chasing
Our urge to be accepted and respected
by the society and our mind are purely
a product of conditioning which has
been imposed on us since childhood .

Excerpts from the article:Whose desires are you chasing
SO , IS THERE ANYTHING APART FROM EXTERNAL INFLUENCE ?
Firstly, you need to see that what you believe is ‘yours ‘,is it really ‘yours’ or somebody else’s!
Once you come to understand what is happening ‘right now ‘, then the path to
future opens by itself.

Excerpts from the article:Whose desires are you chasing
Look at the things around you. Does those things infuse desires in you ?
Think intelligently without getting overpowered by the external influences.
What you call as ‘your mind’ or ‘your desire’,
has been created through all the inputs that has been conditioned into you since
your childhood and then you call it as ‘my achievement’.

A mind and a life
dependent on society is as
good as
SLEEPWALKING

DOES ACHIEVEMENT GIVES US
HAPPINESS ?
If achievement is an external influence then
how can happiness is yours!
When the master is somebody else and you are acting as a slave then that happiness is
worthless and is just an illusion created by your mind.

Excerpts from the article:Whose desires are you chasing
So, as an intelligent human being you
should understand that where am I
investing my whole life, chasing this
whole business of achievement.
