Inspiration
"Practice in actions, words and thoughts"
Episode three
"Practice in actions,PYS 2-31 "Practiced Universally and without exceptions, Yama becomes great disciplines" a good example of virtue ethics  |
words and thoughts" we have heard or read this commandment but I went
on asking myself: Are my actions more important than words because they
have direct impact on the physical reality around me and that word can
be easily brushed away? Are thoughts really contained within the space
of the mind? Nothing indicates priority from actions to thoughts and in
the end we have to address all three. But is it possible to practice in
actions or words without practicing in thoughts first?
Unless
we have control over the process, most of our actions are automated,
linked to first sensing (the experience) then feeling (good or bad) and
finally reacting (desire, repulsion) and this chain-reaction is preconditioned
by our previous experiences.
Our
thoughts are creating the world around us, the same world in which we
will later on decide to conduct actions: can we therefore conduct free,
"enlightened" actions before we have purified our mind of negative
patterns of thoughts?
Try
the following experience: give small group of people a one-minute talk
about anything. Explain it is a test and repeat the talk a second time.
In the first talk repeat mentally while speaking "they are stupid, they
wont understand anyway" and in the second talk repeat mentally "they are
great people, it is nice to share". Now ask them how they have
perceived the two messages: their response will leave no doubts about
the power of your thoughts.
I
was perplexed that despite the large resources invested in
international cooperation, we were obviously not making a difference.
War, hunger, poverty and epidemics were just as before. What could
possibly be wrong? I had to resign from all my functions and look from a
distance to realize: until we change ourselves from the inside, our
actions will have no long-term impact. Unless we transform the deep
structure of our mind, our words and action are still driven by
mechanisms that we are not aware of. Even when conducted with apparent
good intention, our intentions sometime just do not go deep enough for
us to impregnate our actions of the virtue required to make it durable.
Obviously
any purification process goes through various level of refinement. Each
new round of practice will remove ignorance of the previous state and
will bring us toward more clarity. What is important to remember is the
axiom of virtue-based ethics: it is the Sattvic qualities of the
performer that will permeate and make the action performed effective.This inspiration section is open to any Yogi-nomad member, for contribution send your writings to info@yogi-nomad.orgYou want to receive our next edition? Sign up here |
