When one is born to a certain dimension, the nature of the dimension deploys its effects on the being. Genuine intention, honesty, constant aim and effort are needed to overcome these effects and find one’s true path to Salvation.
To live on this planet one needs a body which is composed of
the PANCHABHOOTHA ( 5 elements ) – air, water, fire, ether, and earth. The Panchabhootha needs the PANCHENDRIYA ( 5 senses ) – smell,
sight, sound, touch and taste, to experience life on Earth. The senses evoke
desire in human beings and in the long
run enslaves the majority of them. The humans ignorant of the repercussions of
being enslaved to their own senses, become trapped in the unending cycles of
birth and death. Succumbing to ones senses increases ones karmic obligations, the result of which is more and more lifetimes.
What is the point of having more and more similar
lifetimes? Just a waste of precious
time. One can overcome this by mastering one’s senses. When one masters one’s
senses, the real world presents itself before him, where he is one with all.
This develops detachment. Detachment is the first step towards salvation.
