PRANAHUTI – ITS RELEVANCE IN SADHANA
Psychologists-physiological and animal psychologists- have confused us by comparing with the animals and made us believe we are governed totally by these urges. But God says we can get rid of their binding influence on us. But while He gave us freedom, we indulge in such activities perhaps as many number of times as a dog will do for a year, in a day. This is what is happening. It is absolute misuse of freedom. We talk about freedom being given to us by society or our forefathers or the people who brought us freedom to this country. And then we say we are misusing it. But what about this misuse which every one of us is doing.
We are unhappy because of this misuse. This is calculatedly promoted because we are yielding to what I should say modern methods of media. It is much worse, because we are exposed to media, which has specialized only in two things, violence and pornography. They are the only two things that we can see or hear in any T.V or any radio or anywhere we go or any cinema. Entertainment means entertainment in these two things, entertainment is license. It is not an entertainment. There is no recreation. There is destruction. Where is recreation? What ever you have got you are loosing it.
