Subject: [iyer123] SIMPLIFYING LIFE’s COMPLEXITY…
To: Iyer <[email protected]>
*Respected sir/s,*
*SUBJECT**:** SIMPLIFYING LIFE’s **COMPLEXITY…*
* The **BHAGAVADGITA** emphasizes the understanding of both the
external world of EVENTS and internal world of **EMOTIONS**! It
teaches us a SIMPLE approach to LIFE’s **COMPLEXITIES**; EVEN amidst *
*TURMOIL!!*
* Most of the times, we create our own complications due to sheer *
*IGNORANCE.*
* The Bhagavad Gita has a **deep focus. Life comp-rises the external
domains – the external and internal world. The external domain -outside
world of office, home, and family. There are internal worlds comprising
emotions, thoughts, fears, upsets, apprehensions, paradoxes, and conflicts.*
* In Sanskrit, philosophy is called Darshan Shastra. **DARSHAN means*
*SIGHT**. True understanding arises when one not only hears but also
perceives clearly.** We should not say, **'I will go home and see! If we do
not understand, then we must see it as it is-that we do not *
*understand.** There are two worlds - the outside world comprising of jobs,
positions and then there is a world inside. For instance, there was a
postponement of a flight from DELHI to Hyderabad. The next flight was
sometime in the evening. This is the external world. A CEO was
busy checking out other airlines to get on to a flight out of Delhi. What
happens when one is late or if one misses a FLIGHT? If one is a seeker, one
witnesses the internal world. A seeker might say, 'I feel frustrated and
miserable about the DELAY! This is*
*is the internal world of thoughts and feelings. The internal world has its
own **REALITY**. Internal world has a **deeper impact on oneself than the
external world. The internal world has its own **reality.*
*If a person is going through a divorce in the external world, his
emotional world is in turmoil. He thinks,”Oh I am going through a divorce;
it is so cruel.' There is more agony and torment in this than the divorce
itself.*
* Gita addresses both worlds - external and internal. In the
**Mahabharata,
conflict and tension, arose. Gurus Bhishma and Drona were on Kauravs'
side **while
their hearts were with Pandavas**. **Often, life is **COMPLEX. **Gita
teaches us to see life in a **simple way despite its complexity. **Can one
bring simplicity to perceiving the complexity of the external world?* *This
is **THE awakening of the internal world.*
*If one brings simplicity in their perception, complexities become
clear facts or issues that need to be worked out. **Nevertheless, **the
internal world of emotional turmoil is complex, in which even an ordinary
issue appears complicated.** The Gita presents a straightforward approach
to deal with a complex situation. VYASA referred to **KRISHNA** as a
pleasant **scholar**, **Krishna smiled as he spoke**. **The enlightened
soul had the insight to look at the **BATTLE in a **simple way. However,
due to **ignorance**,* *most of us take a complicated view of it. Moreover,
when we look at it in a complicated way, we think we understand. But We
misunderstand!*
*A wife once asked her husband for a substantial amount of
money. Curious, the husband inquired “Why do you need so much?' The wife
excitedly explained, 'I saw silk saris for just ₹10 each, nylon saris for
₹7 cotton saris for ₹5! I want to buy as many as I can - **they're such a
bargain!'*
*The husband chuckled and replied, 'Those aren't the prices for the saris;
that are the cost of ironing them. While the wife had assumed she was **getting
an incredible deal,** she had overlooked the crucial detail – it was
IRONING shop, not a sari store.*
* This is how we think that we see, but we misunderstand**.*
