Thought At Sunrise: Thought at Sunrise 264/265

13th September

There are two ways of looking at the one who enjoys:
1. One who enjoys the fruits of his karma.
2. One who enjoys worldly pleasures.

One who enjoys the fruits of karma:
This is the influence of the past.
Man is not at complete freedom to change this.

One who enjoys worldly pleasures:
This is the influence of the present.

Both these states can be changed with spiritual practice.
If the one who is enjoying the fruits of his karma, lives in the present nurturing a feeling of equality towards all, he will be following the path of spiritual practice.
To rise above the enjoyment of worldly pleasures would mean following the spiritual path of conquering one's senses.
If our discrimination is awakened, then we can find solutions to problems.
