Resisting False Attractions In Actions

All that glitters (shines) is not gold. Life presents you with many
illusionary scenes, scenes in which what may be visible may not be the
truth. These scenes cause desires to be born inside you to achieve
something unnecessary for your prosperity or other types of fulfillments.
These can be illusions that make you believe that you will gain something
from a situation or person, without the same being true. Thus, you waste
time going down a path that not only leads you to disappointment; but you
also waste the resource of your thoughts and energy and as a result you
tire yourself out emotionally and mentally.

*If the intellect is polluted, you make incorrect judgments and are easily
deceived by situations or people.* Thus, you will make incorrect choices,
dishonest or illogical decisions. *You will justify dishonesty and improper
actions and you will be incapable of differentiating between the real and
the imaginary.* A person with a pure, clear, clean and powerful intellect
will act with honesty and sincerity. When your intellect is polluted, you
may act against your own conscience or against your better judgment; you
also may be insensitive. A person with a doubtful intellect will always
justify a dishonest act. Meditation is the process of purifying and
cleaning the intellect, because in meditation we connect with the purest
intellect, the intellect of the Supreme Soul or God. Meditation is also a
process of inner awakening and strengthening of your conscience. *Being
awake means to realize, and being strong means to act according to what you
have realized.
