Dear Rohit
Hi, I'm rohit , A college student. I have all the gyaan and the the knowledge of right and wrong but i cannot apply it. A part of me denies to apply it.
If you realy want to turn this interlectual knowledge into some real benifit in your own life, maybe you have to ask your self which part of the self you know as Rohit is not applying it ?
We can all ask this question many times in our lives, so many times we know what should be done but we just cant seem to make the step to actualy doing it ?
Well I can only tell you the way that works for me.
Satyam; truthfullness, it starts at home !
First I think about why I think these religious principles are so right, and how if everyone lived by them, what a wonderful life this would be for everyone, how everyone would have a more peaceful and happy life.
Then I think about all the problems of life all the suffering which is caused to others by our laziness and our greed because we are allways thinking only about our selves.
Then the choice becomes easy I canot continue to be lazy and say that I canot change,
I just have to get up in the morning and say Ok, this is my life, am I going to waste it being so stupid and doing things I know are bad ? if the answer is yes I am too lazy, then I think about it this way, If I waste this life what will I become in my next life I will become a helpless dog who only wants to eat and sleep and have good fun, If I come back as a dog I will not even get to understand ''Gyaan'' Oh what a waste of a life if I go backwards I should be going forwards !
Ok, it takes practice but only you can make the effort, you dont even have to be perfect but please at least just try your sincere hardest.
We all have our problems but this life is for learning to take control of our animal tendancies and becoming Human Beings.
You have made a lot of these posts about how to change. I read some and I think Now is the time for you to say who do I want to be, you are so lucky you are at Uni you are getting a good chance in life, please value this fortunate position that youe past karmas have earnt you and do not wast it.
I seek help about this issue from you. Please give me knowledge about how to apply good things in life even when your mind doesn't want to do!
Realy I dont think any amount of Knowlege will help you, You know the same as me that mind is the hardest thing to control but we all have to start somewhere
Ok you want to know how ?
what is the worst thing you do , what makes you most ashamed ? I read your post about how you think of women.
may be you cant give up the thought, but you can give up the watching porn.
then when you have given up one thing you have proved to your self that you can.
You can control your own life, I cant do it for you, you have to make the descision.
I wish you every sucess and will be praying for you but the effort must come from you know where ....
