Expectations

Our life is governed by our expectations which are nothing but memories/imagination…

Desires are memories or dreams of pleasure

Fear is the memory or imagination of pain

Both are unreal

To see both in the same light as mere urges and doing what is necessary regardless of whether it is painful or pleasurable is the objective of a Yogi

This is possible when you realise the truth of your existence and automatically all “expectations” of seeking pleasure/avoiding pain drop.

The truth of your existence could be discovered in silence, meditation, reflection or as a flash whilst working. One interesting description provided by the famous song of film “Guide” written by Shailendra Singh and sung by SD Burman – “Wahan Kaun hai tera”, provides a perspective of the truth to be reflected upon

“Wahan kaun hai tera

Musafir Jayega Kahan?

Kehte hai gyaani

Duniya hai paani

Paani pe likhi likhai

Hai sab ki dekhi

Hai sab ki jani

Haat kisi ke na ayi…

Kuch tera na mera

Musafir jayega kahan?”
