Our monkey minds misinterpret the world and give us the
wrong advice. People around us misinterpret their world too, and give us the
wrong advice. Our lives are one painful skirmish after another, based upon
misinterpretation, wrong advice and wrong reactions.
We pretend the problem of unnecessary conflict doesn’t
exist. Many of us don’t even realise there is a problem. We just think this is
normal.
We have been brought up to bury our heads. We have been
taught to ignore the conflict inside.
The result is a life of conflict and indecision. We feel,
and we see conflict inside our heads, inside our homes, inside our schools,
inside our work place, inside our town, inside our country, in our world on a
global scale.
We quarrel with those we love, and wonder how it happened.
We suffer angry outbursts, are riddled with turbulent thoughts. We are
doubtful, confused.
We are fighting ourselves and as well as others. And the
conflict weakens us …. It makes us unhappy.
If we can see how misinterpretation is affecting our lives,
we can change it, and learn to be constantly, blissfully happy. The Bhagavad
Gita and the Patanjalis Yoga Sutras are wonderful ancient scriptures from the East.
They teach us how to stop mental turmoil, misinterpretation and therefore how
to find true happiness.
