36. Right Behavior -------- Lord Sree Krishna

RIGHT BEHAVIOR

No man ever does any act of sin without feeling the compulsion from within. The man carries in his nature desirable as well as undesirable traits. Undesirable traits are generally filtered away by the will of man. But sometimes the inner traits may over power the will resulting in acts, which he himself may not feel comfortable of. In such situations he is helpless. “What is the recourse in such destitutions?” asks Arjuna, the representative of Man.

The Lord answers, “the qualities of man relate to Nature. Nature’s qualities exist in man. They are basically dynamism, inertia and poise. Poise gives desirable traits. The other two give undesirable traits. Man should know that it is the Nature’s qualities functioning in him as his qualities. He should try his best to be with the traits of poise for which his discriminative will helps. But, at the same time the other traits may work through man in spite of man’s will. In all such situations it is better for him that he surrenders his inability unto ME, the I AM, in him and seek pardon. Even gnostics sometimes are tricked by Nature and do acts of ignorance. In creation no one is an exception to Nature’s illusion. Mistakes can happen. It is not wise to brood over.

It is wise to intensify his prayers and meditations to align with ME, the I AM, in him. By doing so his will gets supplemented by My will, which would help him to exercise his desired resistance to the traits undesirable. Intense and regular prayers and meditations to align with ME would result in manifestation of the quality of poise, which neutralizes the other two qualities to form into an equilateral triangle of qualities.


Therefore, it is necessary that man engage more and more with the I AM in him and in all that surrounds him, than brooding over the mistakes that happen.
