Mystical Philosophy of Universal Consciousness<br />

and the entanglements reproduce like wildfire on a dry summer day in a forest full of petrified<br />

trees. Yet people strive every day to win a lottery or to beautify their bodies so as to gain<br />

popularity, fortune, etc. only to be frustrated regardless of their efforts in life and only to give up<br />

whatever they will acquire throughout their life at the time of their death.<br />

In a lesser degree these egoistic desires and feelings manifest in relations which are<br />

considered as “normal.” Ordinary married people engage in competitions to see who can get<br />

more out of a relationship. Others may feel the need to be selfless but will still expect something<br />

in return. There will be statements like “I did this and this and this and you have done nothing”<br />

and so on. Under these conditions the marital roles become associated with how a person can<br />

render service to the other, to the relationship or the family and the persons needs and aspirations<br />

are many times overlooked, creating resentment and frustration. I woman may feel that her mate<br />

is useful to the extent that he makes money or can fix things or provide for her while the male<br />

may feel she is worthwhile to the extent that she looks good or can cook or can satisfy him in bed<br />

and so on. She might hold sex as an incentive for getting him to do what she desires and if he<br />

does not submit to her she will curse him with her weapons of angry words and hurtful,<br />

humiliating remarks. He may bring flowers, candy and expect to have sex only to find that she is<br />

not in the mood or that she is punishing him for something he did that she did not appreciate.<br />

Unable to handle his ego with its emotions and desires there is frustration and anger which will<br />

eventually turn into hatred. She will eventually lose respect for him and develop disgust with the<br />

relationship. He may also curse her and if the negativity escalates there will be violence. The<br />

civil courts are full of these cases but it is amazing how many more situations like this exist in<br />

the general society which do not even get to court. The frustration and misunderstanding<br />

engenders a desire to look elsewhere for satisfaction “since you only live once” so therefore,<br />

there will be adultery and infidelity. If they stay together as time goes on when the sexual<br />

attraction wears off due to old age there will be disgust and regret over time wasted.<br />

Of course these are pathetic developments in a relationship especially when you consider that<br />

the Soul is degrading itself to the extent of associating with a limited form, the body and its<br />

ignorance, desires and frustrations. Further, the ignorant soul is submitting to the whims and<br />

desires of not only another personality but of nature itself. Creation is only a reflection of the<br />

absolute and transcendental Self. Therefore, from an egoistic point of view it is imperfect and<br />

changeable as well as transient and perishable. Unenlightened personalities are also whimsical,<br />

transient and willful. Is it logical to base your life on something that is whimsical, transient and<br />

willful? What would you advise someone who is digging for gold in a coal mine to do? Would<br />

you advise them to continue searching in the coal mine, to “follow their dream” because they<br />

will find what they are looking for if they “work hard”?<br />

Popular culture has much to blame for the disastrous nature of relationships. In the Western<br />

countries marriages end in divorce in over 65% of all cases. The divorce rate for second<br />

marriages is even higher. If adultery and infidelity were considered in this number it would be<br />

clear that marital relationships are in extreme crAset. However, the culture extols the glory of<br />

marriage and is unable to face the truth about relationships. This failure leads to untold miseries<br />

and sufferings as children are born into broken homes or homes wherein negative values are<br />

promoted. These environments will pollute their minds and render them incapable of carrying on<br />

positive relationships. Also this failure leads to the degradation of society as the inability to deal<br />
