Kind Of People



The law of energy conservation states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. For instance, chemical energy (of petrol) can become kinetic energy (of automobiles). There is no conflict or effort needed when energy is made to pass from source to destination in its current form. The difficulty arises only when it has to be converted from one form to another. Once these energies are controlled and directed in a desire way, they improve our physical conveniences.

Extending this law to our own consciousness, we come to observe that the law works the same way in all the dimensions. In non awareness, people do not respond but react to negativity, they dislike and nurture it for some time and then propagate it to others in the same form. The next receiver follows the same formula and there is a chain reaction.

Realised sages who are wise and have the power of discrimination could help us convert negativity into positivity. Here also the law works similarly and you first face intense resistance. The blueness of sky is an optical illusion, similarly the negativity we experience is also a delusion because essentially thee exists the same positivity within. However, just as an inebriated person enjoys his deluded mind, the ignorant enjoy their pathetic condition. The ignorant would take their own sweet time to understand the reality based on their nature and knowledge but thoughtful people must keep influencing them - preferably by example - not to tread the wrong path based on conditioning and pleasure.

The deluded or the ignorant would try to achieve any goal with less physical, mental or spiritual effort. They lack restraint and are unable to comprehend the feelings of others, they are arrogant and lethargic.

The wise, on the other hand would always follow sage suggestions knowingly or unknowingly and display pure qualities like a penetrating intellect, alertness and fearlessness. The wise are always focused on bettering their surroundings and fellow beings.

Generally, everyone looks up to the wise and pure kind of people but finds oneself following the deluded group on account of fear and misplaced attachments which causes them to be fragmented from within. Such people can be invariably seen engaging in pointless arguments and nothing else. When they are tormented enough they comfort themselves by deriving good qualities from outside like movies, exciting trips and some vague experiences. But what is not their nature and inner calling will not soothe them for long and their life will not be vibrant until they start living using a wise and fearless nature.

Ultimately, we have three kinds of people with three different goals. The deluded group says : This is my duty to do and spread negativity and I enjoy doing it to the core.

The wise group says : This is my duty to do and spread positivity and I enjoy doing that to the fullest.

The general group says : This is my duty to save what I have, I enjoy being motivated by the wise ones and feel scared of the deluded ones.

We all interact and conflict with these different kinds of people at work, home and any other situation. These conflicts have been there for long and are likely to continue into eternity. The purpose of discussing these issues could be seen as a way to introduce us to our real nature. The only expectation is to live our life in unbroken awareness, spontaneity and vibrancy. If we are overflowing with positivity then we must charge the neutrals and help the negatives to be atleast neutral.
