We live in a world which demands action at every bit.Right from the time we get up in the morning there is a list full of 'to do' activities and we are of course expected to fulfil those in order to 'live'.But activity is not that vague kind of thing.We all see a lot of activity around us in fact we only see activity around us!Who has seen inactivity?I haven't till now.So it is pretty natural for us to be bent towards activity but this is not about activity.I'd rather like to explore re-activity.Yes the reaction we immediately put forward whenever we see some favourable/non favourable activity.
I love analysing things both in their minute as well as in their manifest form.I believe this is a way to realize the truth.So if I say reactivity I'd like to explore both minute as well as vast implications of our reactivity to outside action.There are only three kind of possible activities which require a reaction from us:
Favourable activity arousing appreciation,praise or love.
Unfavourable activity arousing hatred,condemnation kind of feelings
Neutral activity from which we can get away even without reaction
Now if we look at our reaction towards outside activity,we observe that the magnitude depends on the impact the outside activity had on us:
Some require immediate hard action.
Some require a mild reaction.
Some require a long time well thought reaction etc
But the end result is never favourable and agreeable to our intellect hidden deep inside and away from emotions.Even if we have something favourable and we react accordingly we are not satisfied deep inside.So at that level we begin to question ourselves.What's the purpose of all this.And right at that moment we realize the impermanence of all this.So the immediate show we put on back there had no meaning at all but forced emotions?Probably yes but then is there a way out?If we think it on the basis of right or wrong the answer is strict no.You always have to defend what is right and always have to stop whatever is wrong.
So,there is no way out and we have to react..lets wait.Here I assumed that we have a valid and apt definition of right and wrong.We can differentiate between right and wrong and stick to it.But can we?
From all that we know and all the religious books say that both good and bad are relative.They are complementary of each other.The good exists because we can differentiate it from bad and bad exists because we can differentiate it from good.None has a separate existence.So is then good or bad just a fabrication of our mind?Sounds interesting I'll probably explore next time.The non duality principle clearly states that there exist no separate identities.It is all in the perception.It sounds pretty interesting as well.In physics we learn that the colour has no separate existence.It's all energy radiated at a particular frequency.So its all perception.Same is the case with sound or smell or heat.Now the question arises if anything perceived by our senses is defined just in terms of perception and has no 'real 'existence then how can we so confidently say that any fabrication of the mind has real existence?No doubt we have so different and contrasting views on good and bad!It'd be stupid for me to jump to any conclusion at this stage but as I dig deeper I get closer to treasure.
Now coming back to our reactions.So why'd we react if we can't differentiate good from bad?If you don't have a proper understanding of anything how can we fight to defend it?I don't know lets see and find out what i discover ...............
