The egoistic urge to interfere and control

The urge to interfere and control is a common and natural trait or behavior pattern that exists in the selfless minds that are functioning under the influence of the idea of 'I' and egoism, under the presence of conscious and semi-conscious awareness.

The selfless mind that is absent of conscious or semi-conscious awareness in the state of unconsciousness/deep sleep/coma, there is also absence of the idea of 'I' and/or such egoistic activities of interfering and controlling this and that to be or not to be in certain way, while the entire selfless physical body is still running/functioning/operating as it is, probably even more smoothly, under the function of the different autonomous bodily systems, under the presence of the selfless supportive energy and elements.

The entire world will be so peaceful, being free from all kinds of conscious and semi-conscious egoistic activities, if all minds of the human beings are resting in the state of unconsciousness/deep sleep even just for a few moments.

Meanwhile, the minds that have attained direct realization towards the truth of Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self, they are functioning under the absence of the ego and egoism even under the state of consciousness/wakefulness and semi-consciousness/sleep/dream. They perform possible selfless actions/activities that are beneficial to oneself and others and the surrounding environment, but devoid of egoism of grasping/attachment/identification/craving/aversion/judgment/comparison/expectation towards the actions and the fruit of actions, not to say, the absence of egoistic urge to interfere or control anyone or anything to be or not to be in certain way.

These selfless and ego-less minds are performing selfless actions in the world that benefit oneself and others and the surrounding environment, and that would promote peace and harmony among the many diversities, but there is no aspiration/desire/intention/expectation that all and everyone and everything will be all good and nothing bad, or the world will be all peaceful and harmony devoid of any unrest and disharmony.

The absence of the egoistic urge and activity of interfering and controlling everything to be or not to be in certain way doesn't mean 'inaction', as being interpreted and understood in such way by the minds that are functioning under the influence of the ego and egoism, because all their activities are all about interfering and controlling themselves and others and the surrounding environment to be more or less the way that they desire it to be. They cannot perceive/comprehend any other kind of activities that are non-interfering or non-controlling anything to be or not to be in certain way.

For these egoistic minds, it is unrealistic and impossible or unthinkable about the absence of the ego and egoism, even though most of these minds strongly believe in certain non-factual story telling about some mystical magical myths/beliefs, where even 'the existence of the highest authority/creator/judge of the universe' is also being created under the similar qualities/characteristics by the minds that are egoistic, 'judgmental', and 'control freak'. It is understandable why they can't perceive or comprehend a world that can be functioning under the absence of the ego and egoism.

There is the existence of certain inspiration/urge/desire/aspiration/intention/anticipation/expectation towards achieving/obtaining certain goal/achievement/gain/result in certain way, that is what prompts or motivates them to be performing certain conscious/semi-conscious actions or activities, regardless of whether it is something constructive or destructive. They think and believe that it is impossible for any kind of conscious/semi-conscious actions or activities that are being performed under the absence of any desire/intention/anticipation/expectation towards achieving/obtaining specific goal/achievement/gain/result.

The entire selfless ego-less non-egoistic physical structure is made up of countless selfless and ego-less non-egoistic cells that form the different bodily components and systems for the body to be existing and functioning as what it is, as it is. The ego and egoism exists only in the selfless restless modification of the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind under the presence of conscious and semi-conscious awareness during the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness, that is accountable for performing certain voluntary or non-autonomous physical and mental activities, being prompted/motivated by conscious desires/intentions influenced by certain existing ideas, belief, values, and practice in the mind. But there are ceaseless and boundless involuntary, or autonomous, or non-conscious physical and mental activities happening ceaselessly for maintaining the selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence and function of the body and mind, that are happening ceaselessly without the need of the mind being aware/conscious/control towards all those essential activities for life maintenance. And if all those involuntary autonomous non-conscious selfless and ego-less activities for life maintenance don't happen, or stop happening, the conscious/semi-conscious selfless 'prideful', 'possessive', and 'control freak' mind that is functioning under the presence of the ego and egoism under the presence of conscious and semi-conscious awareness during the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness cannot be existing and functioning as what it is.

Even when the physical body encounters any kind of illness or injury, the best treatment or rehabilitation is to minimize the conscious or semi-conscious state of mind, to minimize the conscious and semi-conscious awareness and activities, by inducing/optimizing/extending the state of unconsciousness/deep sleep/coma for an extended duration, that will allow the body to be recovering naturally from the illness or injury more efficiently.

The selfless and ego-less physical body is ceaselessly 'regenerating' or 'rehabilitating' itself selflessly and ego-lessly up to a certain extend, even without the mind being aware of all those subtle physical and mental activities are happening ceaselessly, while the conscious/semi-conscious self-acknowledging egoistic impure restless ignorant mind under the presence of conscious and semi-conscious awareness is busy generating and occupying with all kinds of ideas/desires/aspirations/intentions/ambitions of achieving/obtaining/possessing/constructing/destroying/getting rid of this or that, and reacts with dissatisfaction, disappointment, frustration, irritation, anger, hatred, and violence upon the boundless desires of craving and aversion/likes and dislikes/desires and don't desires to interfere and control everything to be or not to be in certain way, are not being gratified.

The selfless egoistic prideful self-righteous mind that is functioning under the presence of conscious and semi-conscious awareness under the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness is strongly thinking and believing that itself and all its conscious and semi-conscious egoistic intentional activities are far more superior and meaningful and fruitful than the involuntary autonomous unconscious ceaseless ego-less and non-egoistic intentionless activities that are selflessly and ego-lessly supporting and allowing the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of the mind to be existing and functioning as what it is.

There are many unnecessary and evitable problems/conflicts/hurtful activities in the world of human beings, are due to this egoistic urge in the passionate egoistic impure restless minds to interfere and control not only one's own body and mind to be or not to be in certain way, but also to interfere and control the others and the surrounding environment to be or not to be in certain way, in accordance to one's desires and don't desires based on one's likes and dislikes, or agreements and disagreements, or belief, values, practice, and vision/aspiration/ambition, or way of living and doing things.

That is why the upmost importance of the genuine regular active engagement in activating the conscious mind evolution process in the minds of human beings, to purify/silent the passionate egoistic impure restless modification of the mind, a.k.a. the annihilation of the veil of ignorance, by the mind itself, that will truly benefit the entire world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

It is the highest form of education/training/practice that will lead to all kinds of prosperity under the presence of wisdom, kindness, respect, peace, and harmony among the diverse names and forms in the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, on top of the existence and availability of certain basic literature education of different subjects, universal common sense, general physical and mental health and well-being knowledge, and different interests and skills development.

The global leader, the regional leader, the parent, the child, the sibling, the relative, the partner, the friend, the member of the particular community, the business person, the worker, the employer, the employee, the teacher, the student, the social media influencer, the law maker, the doctor, the nurse, the patient, the driver, the passenger, the creator, the consumer, and/or anyone, that is free from the veil of ignorance, that is devoid of the ego and egoism, is the most precious and powerful thing in this world of ignorance and egoism, that will promote more peace and harmony in oneself and others and everything in the surrounding environment, selflessly, indiscriminately, and unconditionally.

It is absolutely possible to achieve and have more peace and less unrest in the world, if most minds (if not all minds) especially the minds that have the aspiration, ability, and possibility to be holding certain activity/duty/responsibility/power of leadership/management/organization/law making/law upholding/parenting/teaching in anywhere in the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, who have certain degrees of influential power that intentionally and/or unintentionally impacts all and everything in certain way constructively and/or destructively, can be self-initiated to be engaging in some kind of practice that would lead towards the direct realization towards the truth of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of all kinds of names and forms. Where the presence of wisdom and unconditional peace not only illuminates oneself, but also naturally illuminates the surrounding environment, benefiting the closed family ties and connections, the personal friendships and relationships, the particular community, the vast diverse communities, all kinds of private and public organizations, and all kinds of living organisms and non-living objects, indiscriminately and unconditionally.

Just like the sun, the water, the air, the earth, the livable condition and atmosphere, and the space, they are existing and functioning as what they are, selflessly and ego-lessly, ceaselessly provide all kinds of essential supportive energy and elements for all and everything to be manifesting, arising, existing, functioning, changing, and passing away, as they are, indiscriminately and unconditionally.

But, somehow, under the influence of the veil of ignorance, the many passionate egoistic impure restless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional self-acknowledging thinking and acting minds of the human beings think and believe that, "It is not possible to be performing any kind of actions or activities consciously under the absence of the ego and egoism, devoid of conscious desire/urge/motivation/intention/anticipation/expectation to be more or less interfering and controlling everything to be or not to be in certain way."

They think and say, "We need to do good and right, to enjoy all kinds of goodness in return. We need to stop doing bad and wrong, to avoid any kind of badness in return." But, when things don't turn out to be the way that they think and believe and expect how it should be, they justify and say, "Everything is God's will," or "This is due to bad karma," or "This is due to shortcoming, that I am not good enough or deserving enough."

That is their freedom of thinking, belief, and understanding.

Inquire the truth of everything.

About Yoga

Know thyself. Everything is impermanent and selfless. There is no 'I'. There is no 'I am selfless'/'I am not selfless'. There is no 'I am hurt'/'I need to be healed from hurt'. Non-blind believing, non-blind following, non-blind practicing and non-blind propagating, but be open-minded to inquire the truth of everything. Be free. Be peaceful. Be happy.
