Abstinence or indulgence ? What's the real mantra of life ? Renounce everything worldly, all pleasures of being alive , sex ? Power? Money? Gratification? Everything ? Abstain from all this and live a life of saint, above everything, not effected not connected ? Is that the way to living a complete life ? Or is it by enjoying every little pleasure that life has to offer? Immersing oneself in the music of life, singing along ? Like the way osho said ? Indulge !
Pretty confusing it is...i wonder while reading the verses of Gita sitting out side my hotel room in middle of the night.. The irony being that while I read these verses of Gita I can hear a woman moaning in ecstasy of some wild sex.. thanks to man who is pleasuring her as I write these words. I am wondering is that what's happening in the room next to me is the real way of life or is it that we denounce everything incl ever so powerful n pleasurable sex and lead life of a saint. Controlling all our desires, abstaining from everything that provides us gratification in some form or other. We are so controlled by our desires that they rule our lives and become the soul motivation for each and everything that we do in life. May be I will never find my answers. May be there are no answers . I personally don't want to denounce all the pleasures of life. Otherwise life would be so drab. Would there be any point in leading such dumb life actually. Is it really possible? Is it not better to live doing everything that gives you happiness and pleasure. Won't that be a complete life than the one of abstinence? I wonder
