Shor mein khamoshi hai
Thodi si behoshi hai ... Tum se hi

Mein kahin bhi jaata hun
Tum se hi mil jaata hun ... Tum se hi

Main tera sarmaya hoon
Jo bhi main ban paaya hu ... Tum se hi

Why do we understand something is bad and still continue doing the same thing?

Is it because we are not able to just leave it OR is it because we have not really understood it is wrong OR is it because we have not really believed even if we have listened to what was said?

I believe it is definitely the third. It just means that we have not really believed that something is bad. How else can one explain the same thing being repeated over and over again?

If I know a certain attachment is bad and I cannot leave it behind then the truth is I have not really believed that the attachment is bad.
If I know I have to follow certain path and leave behind other paths to attain what I need to attain and I cannot do that then the simple truth is that I have not really believed that that certain path is the one for me and the rest are bad.

It is really as simple and direct as that however harsh that sounds.

If I understood fire is bad for me would I ever knowingly put my hand in fire. No. That is understanding! And similar clarity and belief is needed for those other things to materialize and seep into my life.

The same people who have held you in the highest regards in the past can start loathing you the very next day. And same people whom you have held in the highest regards can suddenly become loathsome.

That is karma or just the normal course of nature.

No need to look too much into it. No need to feel elated when someone praises you or when you are happy in someone's company. No need to feel down when someone criticizes you or when the same dear ones from earlier stop talking. This situation will happen, always ... only question is when. As it is inevitable no need to waste any energy trying to prevent it or correct it. Instead use the same energy and then some to understand why this happens, who is to blame and what can be done so that such a situation doesn't happen in the future.

This happens because I am considering myself something I am not; I am always to blame in any such scenario (whatever happened was justice, whoever suffers is at fault) ; and this can be avoided in the future by knowing who I really am.

In nature, there are never any gray areas.

It is always :::
- black OR white
- good OR bad
- awake OR asleep
- happy OR sad
- satisfied OR unsatisfied
- in control OR not in control
- aware OR unaware
- living in present OR not living in present
- doing something OR doing nothing

- enlightened or unenlightened


Unless this distinction is clear, a side is chosen, self-evaluation is completed and mindset is uncluttered there can be no progress. Feigned progress maybe ... but definitely no real progress.

-- Should you just do what you think is right or should you consider other people's feelings and thoughts before acting?

-- Why is there an inherent need to impress everyone? And even if it doesn't go as far as impressing everybody there is definitely an inherent need to please/look good in front of everyone (even complete strangers!)

-- IMHO, this behavior is due to the following reasons:
----- Not knowing one's true self and potential (pure and infinite respectively)
----- Lacking self-confidence due to the above
----- Ego, attachments and other malices being born due to the 1st point
----- Considering some people inferior and at the same time some people superior to myself (again due to the 1st point)

Depending on which stage a person is on he will find one of the above causes as answers to the initial questions.
