Obsession is a fundamental character of human life.
Generally what we are obsessed on are the following: money, food and sex.
Most human beings, 99% or even more are obsessed on it and life seems to be just that; money,
food and sex.
But there are people who wanted to have a different obsession in their life.
Look at the obsession of a scientist.
He is obsessed on a discovery or invention.
He is not interested in making money otherwise he would become a business man and become
obsessed on money.
But he is only obsessed on bringing out that invention or discovery to the world.
He is able to accomplish something.
So humanity has to retrain the mind to be obsessed on something other than the general
obsession on money, food and sex.
These general afflictions have created more problems on an individual level, and also
on the level of the human race and also on the level of the countries.
Everyone wants more and more sense pleasures and material things.
It is true that no one can live without them or it’s impossible but then there are ofcourse
exceptions but those exceptions are few and even negligible.
Now the human race in order to evolve should give up these general obsessions and then
try to look at how we can evolve to a better form of life.
That can happen only when we move to a contemplation of something that is the fundamental building
block of our own existence.
The fundamental building block is consciousness.
We have to go to the very bottom of consciousness.
Consciousness and lights are synonyms.
What the physical light outside is consciousness inside and when I say light or consciousness,
I am being very general.
The advantage that we have today is that we can go very deep into an understanding of
light and consciousness through science and create a very beautiful experience.
Let me explain what I mean by this.
Swami Ramalingam was very much convinced that money is not going to make you happy or make
the human race to solve its problems.
The only permanent solution for all human problems is that the human beings go back
to their fundamental principle which is light.
So his obsession was on light.
Jyoti.
Jyoti means light.
I will
talk about the meaning of this song from Ramalingam sometime later, in the meantime just enjoy
listening to the song over and over again, this will bring you an illumination that will
hold the key to our evolution.
