आकर्षणं वा विक्षेपः - Attraction and Distraction

Akarshanam Va Vikshepah

आकर्षणं (Akarshanam) means attraction and you are enchanted towards an object and you start desiring it and may want to possess it at any cost.  

विक्षेपः (Vikshepah) means distraction and which also means mental wandering wherein you are not able to concentrate on your current task properly.  You are not able to concentrate on what you are doing currently since your mind is wandering off to some other topics which is not relevant to what you are doing in the present.

Both the words, attraction and distraction can lead you into a negative outcomes because of your action and the situation might turn out to be of disastrous consequences.  It can cause a serious damage to your quality of life and living. Unless our concentration levels are high towards our objectives or goals, we can easily get distracted towards some irrelevant things which might hinder us in achieving our objectives or goals which we had intended to.

Attraction seems to be more positive, in the sense that it gives an impression of great things ahead if we possess our objects of attraction or desire.  We feel that we might become happy if we can obtain the objects we are attracted to and desire to have them and become a part of us.  

The One thing we need to understand and realize that objects of desire can only give you fleeting happiness or temporary happiness but not happiness which is of permanent in nature.  Any objects of desire are projected happiness or virtual happiness but not a true happiness.  You do not get a real sense of satisfaction or contentment by having it in your possession.

Beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder who is viewing it so it implies that everything is beautiful and nothing is ugly.  Looking at things that appears beautiful to the eyes of the viewer is good but the problem arises when we start desiring to have beautiful things in our possession.  We should always remember that we should always relish enjoying beautiful things by viewing it from far off rather than possessing it near to us.  Beauty is always a distant phenomenon not when it is very near you.

There are two aspects in our life, one is subjective and other is objective.  We are the subjects and all others, other than us, are objects.  We being subjective, we need to learn to concentrate more on the subject that is ourselves rather than anything else in life which are objective in nature.  Objectiveness is something not part of you, it is outside of you, which is not in our control.  We being subjective, we need to understand our nature, our program, and align with it to make our journey of life a pleasant experience.

Spirituality helps us to know and understand about the subjective part of our personality.  Understanding about ourselves is Spirituality.  We need to know who we are, why we are, what we are made up of, and what our role is in this whole setting or environment.  Spirituality will help you to know and realize your core essential being.  

Spirituality is an eye or an opening inside of your own being to know or see your true spirit and be with it.  It is completely different world deep inside everyone of us.  The outside world is what you see or visible to your eyes.  The inside world is what you can experience when you close your eyes and go deep inside your being to reach the core point to know and realize the true essence of your being.
