Dear Friends
One of our esteemed member has raised a point about the importance of Intellect over Emotion by adding that emotional lot should not resent the Intellectuals, because it makes no difference to them at all what others think. They are true to themselves, their vocations, their ideologies, and you can’t just spend your entire life and time in breaking the opposition.
Our life ,as per our Vedas,.is divided into Dharma,.Artha, Kama and . Moksha.
1. Dharma means our duties towards : 1. God ,2.Parents 3. The Earth/people on Earth or the living beings who help us in our food, clothing and shelter , 4.Our society which joins us in all our sorrows and joys.5.Relatives and Friends who help and guide in our problems.
2. ARTH It means funds and resources necessary to meet the expenses for arranging and managing needs of our life and for luxuries for us..
3. KAMA:It means romance, love, affection, attachment, emotions which are necessary to have a peaceful and happy life. This is also for bearing children who keep your family,s name running in the future. Each generation takes the family further and further.
4.MOKSHA: This means after having gone through the above three stages you are to start devoting time in thanking God, your creator. After death you are to merge in HIM. Merging with God is called Mpksha meaning not to be born again..
As per Vedic Religion the normal span of our life is taken as 100yrs though there are exceptions as some persons have expired at the age of 101 to 140 yrs.The 100 years are divided in 4 equal parts of 25 yrs each. These 4 are called Brahmacharys (educational), Grahstha ( Family Life), Vaanprastha ( gradually handing over one’s charge of family to the next generation) and Sanyas ( complete retirement from the family responsibilities and duties and devoting time for service of God and his Creatures,)
That used to be our way of living in earlier days. We were spiritually guided and followed the norms given by our religious teachings. The modern society lives only the ARTH part and a bit of Kama ( for carnal enjoyments)We were living for Mother Earth, Our Motherland, Our Country, our Culture and were always caring for all the living Beings
In Modern society we have become selfish. We are after Money only . This race is to quench our thirst for Luxuries and Power Of Money.. But this is desire and desire is a child of Emotion. Nobody can succeed unless Intellect is backed by Emotions
We have lots of literature . There are poets, novelists, musicians, scientists, philosophers who have been our guides , our teachers and our mentors. All of them are creations of Intellect plus Emotions.
Who says game of Chess teaches fight.It sharpens your intellectual skills and make you a great thinker and manager. If chess is a fighter’s game then all games are fighter games. Every body wants to .win. Is desire to win a fight? No it is a desire to excel over others. Here also Intellect and Emotions are interlinked..
There can not be any Right Decision unless Heart and Mind join together. Chess is the only game which is played in peace. Nobody speaks including the visitors. A person should first know the details of any subject before passing one line judgment.
Who says USA is peaceful. In Chicago every second there is a murder.. It is history that there had always been fights among the ruler and ruled. These fights have nothing to do with games or in Intellect vs Emotions.Intellect without Emotion creates Anarchists, Seperat-ists and Terrorists.
Let us be Kind, Loving, Caring, Affectionate yo make our Earth -intelligently emotional.
