No child is a born addict; Addiction is the result of a mental disease .Many may seem to be healthy physically. But physical health alone does not contribute to the fullness of a personality. This is where we need to access the mental state of any person. If a person is at peace and enjoying himself any moment from morning till he goes to bed and is normal within himself, happy and react to things in a normal way in his life, he is said to be mentally healthy as well. Some when it comes to certain situations react very severally wherein they loose all their control over themselves and realize their folly at a later stage after having calmed down.
How does these characteristics make a person get stuck to certain type of addictions and why?
It is noticed that some express their feelings and release their emotions instantaneously, some do not express at all, some show it after a very long time thinking and rethinking on the matter. These feelings also have a deep impact on the characteristics of the individual. Concerned. Some in their life face a bad situation either by the loss of their dear one wherein they cannot bear nor accept it. This in turn makes them get into some addictions, mostly it is drinking where they feel that they can temporarily forget by becoming unconscious of themselves, then later on they get into this habits and they lose their entire life stuck to such addictions that later on destroys not the person alone who was lost but the whole family suffers lingering on to the person concerned and the living person creates more a problem .
Later on we may find ,sorrow is not the cause, the addiction to it destroys life itself.
Everyday, every moment we experience happiness, sorrow, hurt feelings, fear, jealousy, according to our understanding of situations, circumstances, person whom we like dislike etc. with some I am comfortable, some I am not comfortable, Many of these data’s filled in each persons mind is the result of the persons attitude and reactions at any point of time by their understandings only at that moment. After some time if open to changes in life by broadened outlook a person may evlove,if not he is stuck with an attitudinal defect, and reactions and accumulation and neuroses only increases. This in turn takes the person to negativities in all matters. Added to it if not able to release. The individual finds a via media to release it in certain types of additions ,it can be smoking ,drinking, eating contiously,always murmuring within themselves, biting nails, drinking too much of any stimulants like tea ,coffee etc.All these can be eliminated by the individual when given the right knowledge to understand himself, and support to learn and accept things in life.. When light illumines within by the right touch. Ignorance or darkness has no place. Like wise is the knowledge of yoga, It is knowledge that when given with the right approach and scientific base, any person will realize his weakness and immediately understand and shift the attitude to his life within and without. Hence relieving him of all weakness or its manifestations in the form of addictions.
Every person in this world has only one common objective. And it is for the ultimate peace and happiness. Some may think that money will alone give peace and happiness, for some enjoyment of all pleasures of the senses may be giving peace and happiness, for some eating and relishing good food may give the peace and happiness.etc etc. but all these gives him/her a feeling of this peace and happiness. These peace and happiness but being material in nature will not last long as anything in nature has to change from time to time . But if man can understand and experience himself in all fullness the external situations, circumstances will never again disturb him in attaining his inner peace and happiness which is the only reliable source to rely on in life.
Treating addictions on the surface level is never a lasting solution. It would be the best method to give the right knowledge of things and strengthening the individual concerned and understanding the root cause and eliminating rather then treating on the surface level.
Yoga and its scientific approach is the only lasting solution to make a person know himself better, love himself and know everyone and everything around him to be in peace and harmony within him and to give and pervade the love and peace around him .This in turn make a mind strong and hence weakness will never overpower him to land into any addictions.
Life is divine,
Ignorance is darkness,
Darkness leads to weakness.
Weakness misunderstood transforms into addictions,
The earlier the knowledge, the less the damage,
Or else life itself is in darkness all the way,Yoga is knowledge, yoga is light.
Yoga is the knowledge light, that can show the path to wisdom,
The dispeller of all ignorance and weaknesses,
To everlasting peace and happiness.
