Actually, one might think, would Eva must still be happy. After all, she was living in paradise! She had always enough to eat and drink and needed to be afraid of anything. She had to work nor worry about retirement. Why do they put all these amenities at risk - just come to enjoy this a forbidden fruit?
The urge for an increase of our existence is in addition to the pursuit of livelihood, the second meta-requirement. Since
would grow indefinitely, the soul and the relationship with Krishna from infinity is shown as a basis, it is for them a unnatural situation to exist in the limited nature of matter. So it is understandable that the soul of this shortcoming through boundless diversity within the world seeks to compensate and therefore is one of the unrest to the basic experience of the material world.
livelihood means not only the assurance of the biological being, but also the goods and relationships that have grouped around it. The result is the experience of anxiety and worry, because you want to get the things and relationships, but they all necessarily pass through the power of time.
But even after having been temporarily successful in securing an effort, it is a secure existence for a long time not fulfilled existence.
Imagine, her life now would just be "frozen" at this moment. You and all who know them would ever live like that. All the living conditions would remain exactly in eternity. You would need never again have a fear of losing anything - life, love, friends, possessions ... All that now appears as a valuable, would be preserved for all time. But it would come to nothing new. Each day, the experience would be would be an eternal recurrence of the same, with no losses, no gains without ups and downs Would you lasting happiness in a world of eternal security? Why
not? Because happiness necessarily with an extension, an increase is connected.
When Eve took the apple after she did the sensible thing she could under the circumstances can do. She took the opportunity to rise above themselves. This chance was worth any risk, the risk of losing all the amenities of Paradise.
The writer Esther Vilar in her book - written "The horrors of Paradise as worth living would have eternal life?": "In the long term an eternal life would be unbearable. It would not take long and we would ask the Almighty Creator on his knees about at last to die. To escape this way the terrible monotony of paradise. "
Nothing is harder to endure as a series of good days. Sigmund Freud noted that any "continuation of a situation desired by the pleasure principle, ultimately creates a sense of unease. We are set up so that we can enjoy only the contrast-intensive, the state only very little. "(Sigmund Freud's" The malaise in the culture ").
To the extent that it is understood by the object of joy for granted available to lose the relationship with this object in ecstasy. This does not mean that we do not value the more partners, the workplace, his home or possessions could, but they put a not in the noise condition in which they felt at the time of conquest. In the material world, everything fades gradually under the law of saturation.
happiness in this world you can not pour into jars in order to preserve it over time. Happiness has a very short half-life.
This explains why we go into the world again in circumstances must have a catapult there again.
In this context, to understand books like Paul Watzlawick, "Guide to unhappiness."
The fundamental problem of modern fortune seeker is: How can growth processes (Fortune) To experience when in fact it already has everything you need for life? What you do in those moments, in which open up further growth opportunities not just more?
Then you sink back simply to a lower level of experience, so as to have the opportunity to grow from there, once you to relish. It generates Disonanzen to bathe afterwards in harmony can. You look tense films (in the horror film, you even paid admission for the experience of anxiety), fasting and experience happiness through unhappiness.
Obviously you prepare yourself better pain to have to endure as the terrible feeling of stagnation. Perhaps Therefore, the depression to become widespread disease of industrialized nations, because we no longer experience in safe, well-regulated life processes enough contrast experiences.
They try to present themselves again artificially to gain importance in everyday life as in sports, where voluntary efforts are made to be executed and it reached peak experiences. You work five days a week and then enjoy the weekend. In football, we celebrated a ritualized form of war with glorious victories and crushing defeats. And one adventure experiences in the form of films, novels and stories from the press and read of the extraordinary events in the world in the newspapers. In this artificial Contrasting experiences to their own everyday life provides you with the stimuli, because the understanding of happiness, which one has attached itself, assumes that something has to happen. From this comes the English word happiness (to happen - Accidents happen to).
In yoga is not happiness understood as the contrast to experience suffering, but as a deep state of mind. Because in the mind the relationship to the infinite, to Sri Krishna, is inherently created, it needs no external circumstances to happiness. Since you as an eternal soul is a nature completely different than anything mundane, joy can not be generated from there - just like a human would be pleasant enough, if his shirt is now immersed in a bowl of fine vanilla ice-cream.
self outer extreme situations such as death or total loss of these assets is increasing constant joy that the soul in connection with their home - learn to create a shadow - Sri Krishna.
Then one touches a stream of uninterrupted quiet joy that is experienced continually, and is no longer dependent on the circumstances outside.
As long as these conditions still ascribes value, is made impossible inner depth, because it was a projection into the outside.
The soul is never merged with all the conditions experienced in the world of thoughts and emotions and experiences, pass through them. The inner path taught to keep a distance from the world of passing forms and states.
Then it really matter whether the moment is inspiring or contemptible, whether small or large, simple or spectacular, if he shows a lot of action in the world or modest in itself is whether it is joyful or painful. In
Krishna is the smallest sincere devotion to him never be forgotten.
Since no such luck in a transient world hinbezieht, but to the eternal substance that is needed is not the contrast of experience. It never becomes saturated.
project in the afterlife, many people today simply worldly secular human experience of eternity and have to go as natural as the conclusion of the above-cited Esther Vilar - that one has at some point all grazed and begs God most sincerely for the gift of ultimate extinction.
joy in sharing with the eternal, Krishna with the experience of infinity in itself and one does not need another little substantive suffering in between, in order to be appreciated again. It is an experience beyond the mundane polarity.
