On
mind games – Assumptions of mind!
We assume ourselves separate from others. This separateness is the basis of 'maya'. And this separateness causes us to fear for self and protect self from others. We
consider everyone threat to our existence, well-being and to our self-esteem. From
this assumption stems fear for self. And that gives rise to desire and
compulsion for self-preservation. This leads us to attack the person we assume
to be ‘threat’ to us! We hurt them. We compete with him. We demean him by
fault-finding and calling him names. There is no end to this. As the other too
would ‘retort’ against our attack, we say “see, I was right! He is threat to
me!”
We
conveniently forget that we had started this fight. We end up in a fight
unnecessarily. This robs us of our energies and peace of mind. And we assume
again that the other is responsible for our suffering. Contd.....
