In yoga, States classified in Tamasik, Rajasik and Sattvik. Accordingly, personalities are characterized by Tamas-Wikipedia, the meaning, sloth or inactivity; Rajas-activity; or Sattva-purity.
That all luck searching is a universal truth.Yoga, through the experiences and the teachings of the masters, provides a pathway for a sustainable happiness organized by desires, dislike, attachments, fears, etc..This route leads us from Tamas (ignorance, laziness) to Rajas (activity) and further to a Sattvik character (purity) for a lasting bliss.
Materialism is good in the sense that it helps to transcend from Tamas to Rajas, so let's not qualifying of materialism as anti-yoga.It is often a necessary tool for our continued journey to bliss. a person with ignorance and laziness consumed can never lucky, because unlike perception that "ignorance is bliss", in reality, an ignorant, lazy person is a prisoner of his laziness.Ignorance and laziness act as chains that actually tend to suppress free, saved.
So, it is necessary to motivate us maybe with tangible goodies ' in to lure ' us a life of productivity, activity is the first phase.
Rajas leads to the activity of the whole system, both physically and mentally, and ignites emotions. With the increasing material and sensual pursuits, rises the Rajas accordingly.
The problem arises as a result of unbridled Rajas. increased mental and physical activity creates his own tension in the spirit. If this happens, inner contradictions are aroused-stress, depression, fear, fright, sensual pleasures. This rise and fall with intervals and without control such as waves, which throw on our boat (mind-body complex). It is here that the transition from a rajasik to create a more sattvik character.Why?
Because just as an economist would say-the law of diminishing utility takes over ...
While on the one hand, we are the accumulation of material benefits for apparent physical comfort, we hope that this will help us to buy the emotional comfort. Crazy, what happens is just the opposite. The other part of our being-the spirit (in the true sense is really accompany our physical body as well as)-starts getting excited. This married life much of the material benefits and, in fact, faster than we realize, the tables are turned on.
Is wedded to materialism also makes not good "entrepreneurship". Like any business man agree would, one has to strive for more "bang for the buck".The maximum value for your wealth is when you deploy for profits untapped/unrealized. In this case the material wealth earned are the assurance that your family can protect you as you to explore the uncharted areas for obtaining of inner peace, bliss, freedom from pain-a remarkable opportunity to strive for high yields. Needless to say, this is also in perfect sound with the risk-return paradigm that a businessman thrives on.
But most importantly, such as essentially every intelligent and astute, wealth accumulation would realize after a fixed period and is only the result of an addictive behavior with no real need for it.In some cases, this is so because the person really don't know what else to do so he continues the cycle of wealth accumulation as an escapist way under the robes of the "the need for growth of the business", the need for support of family, the need for the stock of the world, the need to prove themselves, the need to be successful, the need to secure-the list is endless.A perfect intelligent and dynamic person must actually viewing the entire game of one-upmanship, competition, financial success, etc. from an elevated vantage point where he sees it as a game is played by harried rabbits, revolves around-more in the nature of compulsive behavior-with a number of imaginary victory messages when in fact there is none.Everything they end up doing is just to stay at the foot of the mountain.There is a larger, difficult climb that we all need to take with much larger gains along the way can be gotten.That is the way for an "ambitious" intelligent man.
And what is this trip?The journey to understand who we are, why are we here, what are we actually do and what should we do, how should we do it, what is by doing.This is what we mean by spirituality and when we start to do this, we get closer to the bliss. This is what all creatures eventually some search-search for answers while they are young, others when faced with burn-outs, many while on their deathbed and for the remaining, they future life (for the believers of karma) that these questions will throw up.
But despite this, of course, practical and intelligent reasons to go out to a more spiritual approach, why are we in the rut of material accumulation and sensual pleasure? quite simply, because of the grip our senses have on us. we are, in fact, slaves of our senses; we can't see it is possible that there is something beyond, much deeper and State gives us a lot more fun, so we trudge along on our "addicted", meaning dominated ways.
