About Me
- Ravi Dias -Jayasinha
- We are living in a world community where people think they can find happiness, inner peace and harmony through wealth, power and social status. They also Seek happiness through family relationships, jobs,partners, friends and sensual pleasure. They try to change the external conditions of their physical, social and political environment in various ways, because they believe that when these conditions are developed, they can become happy and peaceful. But they forget that at no time will conditions stop changing. Even before the fulfilment of their dreams, things will change and the promise of happiness fades away like the morning mist at daybreak. The harder they try to reach out for happiness, the more elusive it becomes, like catching a fluttering butterfly which is so enticingly near.People waste a lot of their mental energy when they do not know to harness it. Energy is like a water fall. Almost everyday, water pours from the waterfall.An innovative engineer, after studying the phenomenon, builds a dam to harness this power. The water so accumulated, is converted into hydro-electric power which lights up streets and houses and keeps the factories running. In the same way, we can accumulate our mental energy, harness it, and use it well to serve others, besides enabling ourselves to experience peace and happiness. The Buddha developed his mental energy to a supreme level which as a result enabled him to finally gain enlightenment.According to Albert Einstein, even atomic energy which has shaken the whole world cannot train a man's mind. Such is the nature of the mind. Without religious guidance, it is difficult to train the mind.Man has turned the whole world into a time bomb because of his ego, hatred, selfishness and canniness. The life of every living beings is in danger, by the various inventions clever people have made but which are misused by those in power. Atomic energy, for example, has been discovered by a human mind, and can be utilized for constructive or destructive purposes. But today politicians seem to be using this energy as a threat to their neighbours and the whole world. Unless they control their mental energy and channel it for productive ends, great destruction can result.
