Unburning people (The only way to become joyful)
This is a little hard for some people to understand. So I'll try my best to make it simple. Starting with the question that what is joy?
The answer is that joy is a state of being in which you don't need anything. You are complete in yourself. Many confuse it with pleasure. You see pleasure is a shadow of joy, smaller, shorter. It cannot be experienced without any person or anything. If that thing is gone, you are at wreck. Even if you have that thing forever it has become your limitation. And the funny thing is we celebrate those limitations, a limitation that is pleasant is hard to break. But what if I told you can adopt a lifestyle that will make you limitless make you free from any pleasure.
Well most of you will leave the page after I wrote the name of the lifestyle, so let's discuss it first and then name it. It is a practice that focuses on being joyful by your own self many confuse it with celibacy. But you can be that guy or girl without celibacy. Think of a day that you are happy and joyful for no reason, you don't check your phone, don't complain for anything and are always ecstatic in your own. Unhappy people complain? They want everything in an order and if something goes wrong they lose it. You certainly don't wanna become that person that is hard to live with. You can become that person that makes other smile for no reason. Just like we see or think of a young kid.
That practice is known as "Brahmacharya". You probably left didn't you? Anyways, back to the day when you were so happy. That happiness happened within you or did it rain upon you from outside?
If it rained on you then you are a case, go to some doctor or something. It happened within you, it was always within you. So searching it outside is quite stupid. You use something to push start that joy within you. You want it self started or push started?
If you put self start on your joy, then you are a 'Brahma Chari'. As simple as that, now you are joyful by your nature. Have all the Brahma Charis become like that? Maybe not but that's the intention. They are working towards that, you need certain space and time of your own that you don't have other things to handle in your life. So Brahma Charis have chosen a certain way of life. They walk alone in their path of life. Now the problem is that our brains are hijacked by our hormones in our teenage. They find it hard to understand that how can someone be happy without getting married. They are more joyful than you more intense than you. So does that mean that WE all should not get married and have a family one day. NO Brahmacharya does not mean just Celibacy. It means you are ecstatic by your own nature. You can be married and still be a Brahma Chari. You are not extracting joy from people around you, you are joyful and rather give people joy. This is how it should be, this is how everyone should try to become once in their lives, isn't it? Everybody should be joyful by their own nature.
If two people come together they should be sharing joy not extracting joy from one another. Has anyone eaten mangoes? Probably everyone. Has anyone planted mango trees? Probably very few.
Just 10% have plated mango trees but everybody has eaten mangoes. It's only because those 10% are there in every generation so the survival at mass can be ensured. Brahma Charis are doing the same without joy, we can be forced to revert the evolution process and kill ourselves instead of ensuring it. Such a dumb thing to do.
For that the Brahma Charis need to be pure life (pure energy) just like a baby. Pure energy no personality or flexible personality. Whichever way you bend them they become like that.
If we take an analogy, you are a pot. By certain deeds, conditions you take a certain shape. By the time of your birth you have soft malleable pot, in your youth you become a little rigid, by the time you grow a full adult you are totally rigid. You will try to reshape a rigid pot it will break. By the time, you are being burnt, this makes you rigid. So what Brahmacharya means is that it is "Unburns" you, makes your thinking flexible and malleable which can take any form. Like a child. What you see as them being unmarried is just a small part of it the rest of the quest is yours. Let me give the clue rest is internal. And such people are capable of someone else, only then can the societies remain sane and habitable. So let's unburn ourselves.✌✌
