The science of Guilt

-
When do we feel guilty? or a rather connecting to you question would be When do you feel guilty?
The answer is certainly this.
We feel guilty when our expectation turn out otherwise. But, this is a very superficial conclusion we all draw, from our own experiences. We haven't thought in deeper about this. Let's go deeper and understand the science of guilt.
We can only feel guilty when choose. Yes, when we have a chance to act, we are presented with two options. One from the mind and the other from the soul.
Now, guilt can only come along after having chosen the option, emphatically praised by the mind. Due, to the loudness of the mind, 99.99% of people go for the option proposed by the mind and the results lands all of them in GUILT.

Yes! seems astonishing, but it is the fact. We feel guilty because we realize that we chose the wrong option and we feel more guilty when we realize that the appropriate option was suggested to us, but we were ignorant as we refused it. Guilt comes across only when we are left all alone with the wrong choices we made. When we find no other gateway. We feel guilty because the option we thought would give us happiness is now demanding happiness from us instead!

 This has become another burden. We feel guilty for not choosing the right option. We feel guilty as we turn back and logically try to understand the scenario in which we were presented the options. We feel guilty, as we see ourselves utterly ignorant and foolish to have used our WILL at the wrong place. Our mind which made many promises to free us from unhappiness has become the very cause of unhappiness.

 It continues to give wrong ideas and propels us to act on it and then again makes us a captive in the dungeon of GUILT.

 So, evidently the solution for this recurring problem is in contrast to what the mind suggests. We must follow all the things that the mind ignores to follow. This is the path of spirituality where the suggestions are voiced by the soul. They can never cause harm to us.

 They might momentarily seem to be disturbing, but in fact they are weeding out the poisonous weeds planted by the mind.

Hope and Positivity

This might seem contradicting to many, but the fact is that practicing positivity is not as beneficial as you think. It is a form of ignorance. Because, positivity involves the mind, it can never be positive. Remember, any act involving the mind is negative. Practices that help dewiring the mind is positive. Such practices abate the wandering of the mind. The movement of the mind is always flimsy and not unidirectional, so are hopes. We hope not one thing, not once, but many things and many times! So, we have desires sprouting from hopes and senses to achieve them. This is ignorance. Anything done unconsciously is ignorance. Because we are not aware of this cyclic trend of hope transforming into desire then act. These activities generally yield negative results. This causes disturbance, again compelling us to unconsciously accept hope. Now, we hope again, but to get rid of negativity. We hope positivity. This is ignorance of the highest kind as we dream and try to pacify our

Glories of 'Knowledge'

Knowledge is not heritable. It is not an asset, thus cannot be possessed. It is not available in books which can simply be acquired through mere reading. We must understand the nature of 'knowledge' first. Knowledge is the source of existence. The very idea of distinguishing one from other that streams from our thoughts is the result of enough churning of knowledge. It is the possibility to grasp reality, an aid for us humans to get a glimpse of the ultimate truth. It is the repository of truth and hence is beyond conception. This is not mere glorification of 'knowledge', but just a mere introduction of it. When man is an infant he cannot understand the difference between fire and water, until experienced or taught. The memory of an experience, retained to understand or delve into the subject is the dawn of knowledge. Only knowledge makes possible to retain the useful and let go the unwanted clutter of the mind. It is the benefactor of a composed mind and leads

Why do I feel cheated?

-

It may seem a nightmare when you realize that the your loved ones are no more the same. It may be either your friend, spouse, children or other relatives. Your confidence in them has drastically reduced. Why now, today your loved ones seem alien to you? The answer may be vague, perhaps a mix of emotions. Any change we perceive in the world is a result of the mental makeup of oneself and the other. Your interaction with your loved ones was determined on the basis of your mental framework which may be contrasting to your present mental framework. We find ourselves in a dilemma when things don't workout the way we expect it to be. Nothing seems to work. Our confidence is battered every time we try to rebuild it. Emotions of faith in the other, trust, love, sympathy, etc are all temporary as the mental framework of our mind is clutched in the wheel of time, which spins without break. These emotions can be replaced with their opposites with changing time! Our mind carries the
