I was browsing an old issue of “Anantha Vikatan”, a tamil magazine. Precisely an issue dated 8.8.12. A striking article written by the famous writer and novelist Mr.Balakumaran, caught my eye, simply because of the crisp message it conveyed to me and the readers of “Vikatan”. I wanted to do something about it and get it translated into English. It’s a request from him to the readers of this magazine to call a toll free number and talk to him about personal issues.
So I took out my notebook and started this translation. It may not be a direct one, but I have tried to do some justice. I hope my readers like it.
Translation
Where does Man get caught in difficulties? Is it in love or anger, or want’s. It can be easily said it’s none of the above. I can firmly say his ego is the main cause of his difficulty.
His ego is quietly seated a foot below his needs and want’s, his love and his anger. “Do you know who I am?” ” If I want I can do anything “. You hear these words often blurted out by people with bean bag ego’s. This has caused their downfall many a time. OK, now I offer a glimpse from my own experience to show you ways as to how to dissolve this ego.
What is Love? So many poets have already said so much about love. Love is just sharing and mutually agreeing to stop pointing the finger said J. Krishnamurthy. If we can get these wise words into our mind then life will be spectacular and useful.
There is a lot to say about “anger”. Anger engulfs you first and not the person you are angry with. Some people take pride in saying that I am a very angry and short tempered person. They also say ” Watch out when I get angry.” Please listen to my golden rules on what I have to say on anger management..
Just focus on what you eat. Yes, on what you eat. Food determines your mindset and your mental balance. Your diet controls your breath. Your breath controls you. When you are erotic and sexited, your breath is erratic. When you get angry your breath is abnormal. When you talk with an ego your breath plays havoc. Only when you are in love your breath is normal. People might ask me “Friend, what has food got to do with all this”. It does and I have a lot to say on this my dear friends.
There is one more crucial element necessary for man’s eternal peace. It is mantra chants. Your religion, caste or work will not be a hindrance to this chanting. I can’t see a better option than chants to reduce your mental heaviness and anger. It is just a constant repetition of a mantra over and over again. My experience has a lot to say about this. Anyone can do it, just try.
My experience is your reading material. All these thoughts which I have shared with you come from the bottom of my heart. Call me and we will talk. Thanks. Balakumaran.
See you with my next post!
