The Deprive World (11)
Previously,we investigated over our mental events arise fabrications.
Now,we further investigate over our mental events on material gain and compare to the mental events happened in meditation.
As we known if the desire for material gain not fulfilled,it generates a lot of reasons to have own it,restless and unpeace,possible leads to angry,jealous....etc..If desire fulfilled, it declines to peace by itself. But, soon after short while (short life),another desires(being)come,and then go peace again. Once the desire satisfied ,mental consciousness settle down to the rest point,one feels the comfortably in ease and clam (peace)for a little short lifetime.
Our effortlessly to acquire material gain to fulfill the desire, is to pacific the unrest,that permit to stay claim and peace for short while.An other words, to acquire material gain for the peasant feeling is not secure.It is easily to flare up by another desires again.
Whatever flare up of mental events,regardless whether for pleasant feeling or not pleasant feeling,ultimately, our consciousness needs to return to the rest point for a peacefully and comfortably rest. The more we chase after the desires, the more unrest. We made ourselves chase after our own endless desires,and forsake our own comfort of ease and calm. we are indeed suffer in this Samsara.As we chase and buy many things, yet we throw what we bought and we finally have to give up whatever we have had at the end of the day.Beings are so pitiful indeed. All beings endlessly chase after their own delusion from life to life... This is because we have our Mind seted at the pleasant feeling, and the pleasant feeling itself is a delusion.
Instead, We should have our mind sets on reasoning and justification,because knowledge is everything in life....
Thereby developing the mind set... Whatever the arisen of pleasant feeling comes from the eye(sight)in our daily life,has it reasoning and justify...Whatever pleasant feeling comes fom the mind(idea), has it resoning and justify.....etc..thereto, reseting our mindset from materialist view to rational view, more to reasoning and justification without bring interrupt by false intention(pleasant feeling of materialist view).
As we know the material gain offers delusions and shorten the lifetime peace.This kind of short lifetime peace is not what we are looking for. We are looking for an endless lifetime and greater peace as what we experienced in Jhana meditation. The Jhana's peace is much more greater dimension of equanimity and endless longevity in lifetime of supreme peace.
Marvelous,our efforts and actions to acquire peace for non-material gain are very similar to the efforts and actions made in Jhana meditation.
In meditation, we focus attention ...sustain efforts...joy or pleasurable interest, follow by neutral feeling...then concentration at peace...Both the procedures are the same. The deferent is the material gain has shorten the duration to stay at peace,can not satisfy us..
