Rishi Chintan (ॠषि चिंतन)

 

by Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya (www.awgp.org) 

 

On analyzing the effects of moral and immoral intentions on our being, we observe that stirring up of moral, virtuous, honorable intentions in our psyche uplifts us and makes us more productive. It has an extremely positive and stimulating impact on our being. Where as even an attempt to pacify a lustful desires seems to be most vile to us.

 

Immoral desires are nothing but the gloomy, bleak void created by an absence of moral values.

 

Much like the musty, damp areas where sunlight never reaches, or the dark places where light does not shine.

 

Psychologists such as Freud, claim this human limitation, his uncontrollable sway under the impulse of immoral desires, vile intentions to be his one true nature, his true personality.

 

What they fail to realize is that conclusions like these, presented by them, will produce a grave outcome of severely undermining human greatness, glory and dignity.
