VICES

After understanding, different qualities of Almighty, let us now think about some of the vices within us which block the release of our potential. We have to use our godly qualities and powers to delete these vices which we create ourselves within our mind. 

We have considered one very important and deadly vice “EGO” which we understood as an attachment to a false image or belief of myself. If we understand that we have attached ourselves to the false belief. So, it is entirely in our hands to detach and come out of this Egoistic state of mind. If we come out of Body consciousness, and become soul conscious we can easily remove the vice ‘Ego’. 

Once, this is understood, it becomes easier to delete any other vice. Knowledge helps in overcoming “Ego”. 

Next dominant vice is Anger. 

Anger can ruin the best of the opportunities available in life. It spoils our mental peace. Creates Health problems. Spoils relations. Makes permanent damages and makes life miserable. 

Unfortunately, we fail to understand that like other vices, this is also created by us. We quite often say that situation made be become Angry. But real thing  is we always have a choice how to respond to the situation. 

We should never react immediately but try to control ourselves and respond after weighing the pros and cons. Every action will have a reaction and situation can become bad to worse with inappropriate instantaneous reaction to the situation. Instead, it is within our hands to correct the course of happenings by proper response to a situation with our thought process and help ourselves. 

Main reasons for anger are: Our expectations from a particular person or in a given situation and our inability to cope up if the expectations are not fulfilled. 

If we understand that the person in front of you also is basically originally a pure soul and has behaved in a particular way due to his habit patterns or Sanskars, we shall be able to separate the person and the action. This will help us stop creating Anger towards the person. 

Regarding the situation, if we understand that the situation in front of us is also usually a reaction of what our actions were in the past, we shall try to improve our actions in future and create good destiny for ourselves. 

Let us remove the Anger from our life by all means to help ourselves. It is in our hands. Let us pause here for the time being.

In the next interchange we can consider some of the important powers within us which help us remove the vices and make ourselves pure souls.
