The next
stage is represented by ‘Preeti’ or the feeling of want or indispensability in
respect to an agreeable object, arising from a consciousness of its absence. This feeling of ‘want’ represents a more
developed form of desire. Here we develop anger towards one and all - whom we
think are responsible for keeping the object of our desire away from us! Their every act we see and understand as
being selfish and manipulative because we think they are out to oust the object
of our desire from our life! This anger slowly gives way to hatred and
repulsion towards these people though these people are most of the times our
near and dear ones. We forget how we can
connected to them. We forget our
relationship with them. Only thing that
we remember is that they are responsible to keep us away from the object of our
desire! Hence, the aversion and negativity for such of people in our life……..
Here in
such cases, we are not even able to see the other’s point of view and the
reason for their acts and words. Many
times, it stems out of the affection or ‘attachment’ they have for us. For eg: my parent /siblings may behave with
me very harshly or in a very mean way because they don’t want me to get married
to a person of my choice. Many times,
this comes out of their belief (may be irrational or prejudicial) but still a
belief that I will not be happy being married to the person of my choice. The same can be true in case of my stand
towards my life’s any decisions or my life style and choice of my habits and
attitudes! But, I’ll not be able to see their concern and affection behind
their mean acts! Because for me they are
obstruction that is stopping me from being with the object of my desire – here
my partner!
