NATURE OF VIVEKA
constitute our true nature. This disillusionment is persisted habitually by us: otherwise it is painful and we might bring down the whole sandcastle of false identity which we nurtured carefully so far.
Our friends and foes alike, who wish to avoid their own suffering, support us in believing in the forms and notions in which they are interested. The group thus gets formed and the vicious circle thus formed has the support of the group or more appropriately the herd. These people are called friends, colleagues, and associates, satsanghis, abhyasis; they are at times well intentioned. If we look carefully we can see that the pockets of "authorities" and their ‘advertisers’ (Gurus and Sishyas) are filled with money while reinforcing and giving meaning to ideas and dreams (new or old) that serve their interests. This is to convince us to switch from the ideas and dreams that does not serve their interests. And, it is true that some ideas and dreams are more functional and get more social support than others.
