Not Our Business
If we understand this point we can gain some separation as
well as a good weapon to combat the illusory and deceiving processes of lust.
Truly lust psychologically tries to get into the business of
another person. It wishes to get involved in the life of the person just because
they have a good body or are good looking. But in reality, the life of another
person is really none of our business.
The other person having a good body or being good looking is
none of our business as well. Why does lust try to possess that somehow and try
to make it our business when it is not up to us. The other person having that
good body is their business, their merit and the result of their Divine Mother’s
work/creation. We had nothing to do with it, we had no part in it, so why does
lust think it has a stake in that?
That is where lust makes an error or falls down. It thinks
just because it likes the body of another that it can possess it or make an
entrance into the life or business of another person. But this is really not a
good reason in anyone’s mind to try to get involved in the life of a person. Plus
who would let a person into their life just because they like our body. I would
say “get lost!”. Because they will find another good looking body and then they
will go away with that, or when they break the illusion of just a “good body” when they get psychologically hurt or disappointed (which is bound to happen) they will hit the road too.
Illusory Conclusions of the Perceptions of the Human Body
There is much illusion in the conclusions of the perceptions
we have of the human body. Another person’s body can look perfect, all prepared
with make up, hair styling and clothing and we can think that they have to be a
delight to know and be with. But that is not all as true as that!
The egos that they have will certainly shatter this wrong
conclusion, plus, if we were to take away the event, the ambience, the make up, the company, the
‘going out clothing’ and replace it with ordinary clothing then what? The
illusion shatters. The person is a person that has to go to the toilet, that
can get sick, that has a terrible mother and father, that has to eat, that has
some awful egos and so on and will get old and will lose all of his/her beauty.
To bring reality to neutralise or dissolve these illusory conclusions
is very beneficial. It is very handy to do this because it brings our consciousness to the fore, and makes it to work: correctly organising the conclusions of our perceptions and
not creating false processes and new egos or strengthening old ones.
The illusion is our conclusion not the person.
End (1857).
