People
believe work causes stress. This is not true. Stress arises from an ungoverned mind. The mind comprises impulses, feelings,
likes and dislikes. It behaves like a child.
The intellect is the thinking equipment, which reasons, discriminates
and judges. It is the adult in you. The adult must control the child. You cannot afford to let your mind govern your actions.
The mind has no direction or dimension. The intellect alone can direct and control the mind. If the intellect is not
available for guiding it or not powerful enough to control it, the mind goes berserk and devastates the personality.
The
mind may also be compared to water flowing in a river and the intellect to its banks. The banks control and direct the flow
of water. The lands remain fertile as long as water flows within the banks. But when the banks are weak and yield to the pressure
of water the fields become inundated. A blessing turns into a curse.
Similarly, when the desires of the mind are too
many or too powerful and the intellect is weak, the individual yields to their pressures which destroys his personality. Hence
the way to control desires is to strengthen the intellect, pitch up an ideal and work for it.
Most humans tend to
work with selfish desires. Only a small percentage act unselfishly. And rarely indeed does one act desirelessly. A selfish
individual acts merely to fulfil his egocentric desires. His motive to acquire and enjoy is directed all to himself and perhaps
his immediate family. No more. The mind of such a person will ever be disturbed. He will suffer from continuous stress.
When
a person fixes a high ideal in life, he begins to work unselfishly. Serving a common cause, his work is directed to the welfare
of people at large. His activities no longer centre around mere personal gain. His desires lose their selfish stigma. His
mind turns peaceful. He becomes relatively free from stress.
In the final stage of development, an individual becomes
totally free from the pressures of desires and motives. He works with a perfect sense of detachment, merely does what he ought
to do. He is not driven by any desires. Neither is there any craving for the fruit of action. Revelling in the Self within,
he enjoys absolute freedom from stress. More on Free Horoscopes Tarot Runes
