Addiction to pornography

Addiction to pornography is one of the worst forms of addiction, since it directly impacts the mind. It makes the mind coarse and unable to perceive clearly. A mind that is addicted to pornography is constantly craving for it or thinking about it. It loses its ability to be awake to reality. It is no longer able to maintain the perception of truth. Being flooded with coarse metal images makes the mind heavy and confused. The only fruit of addiction to porn is craving. A mind craving for more porn and the cycle continues.

So, if you value a clear mind, stay clear of pornography. It is one of the most widespread forces of degradation. It results only in the intensification of craving and confusion.

To stay clear of addiction, start valuing the things that you already have. Unless you value that which you already have, you risk losing it. If you do not value clarity of mind and perception of truth, you will lose it. Let us seek grace and gratitude. Let us be gratitude for the ability to remain always awake to reality and conscious of the Self. If you do not value it, you fill fall prey to addictions and cravings. Lust easily overpowers a complacent mind. Let us therefore pray to cultivate gratitude and appreciating the value of always remaining awake to reality.

Let us bow down before truth and the ability of the clear mind to perceive truly.

Peace be unto you, and may you be liberated.

Non physical nature of awareness

Let us denote consciousness as that which is generated by the nervous system or a physical system. Let us denote awareness as that which has no physical origin. Thus consciousness is a consequence of physical activity. Awareness is independent of the physical.

In this sense, consciousness is temporary. Your true nature is awareness.

Worldly investments

All worldly investments (marriage, family, children, wealth, career, house, friends, recognition, fame) are ultimately worthless in the face of death. Invest therefore in the eternal. Recognize the eternal and never lose sight of it. Never lose sight of the One Soul. Your true primal identity. It is the only valuable treasure which cannot be lost. Truth alone is eternal. Non-truth is easily lost. It is a false investment.

Evil action

No action can prevent self realization. If we define evil as that which does not allow the self to be realized, then no action can be classified as evil. Since no action can prevent self realization, there is no such thing as an evil or wrong action. The self is to be realized by itself and this is not an action. Therefore, actions are not evil.

Only one thought

"God alone is real, all else illusory."
-Ramakrishna Paramhansa

This one thought alone is enough to sustain you through countless lifetimes. Nothing else is needed. Life and death are trivial before the reality of God.

Aligning with truth

Aligning yourself with truth is the best way to live life. To live a life that is misaligned to truth only results in meaningless suffering and misery. There is no separation.

Truth of God

The truth of God alone is enough to sustain you for lifetimes. To develop conviction in the truth of God alone is enough of a worthy occupation in life. And it will reach fruition, no matter what. This is the promise of the sages. Go forth now. May you never forget this!
