In considering the views of any traditional culture, to understand what is the thinking that underlies and what are the deep motivations that animate it can not really be considered an option, otherwise the almost total lack of understanding of the scope of its values. The Hindu-Vedic tradition in this regard, it makes no exception. There is a sort of premise, in fact, failing which many aspects of this great civilization would seem highly historicized and anachronistic for the modern man, devoid of meaning and practical utility, a mere folklore. That consideration is that the ancient Indian culture is centered around a very specific purpose: the full realization of human potential. The whole creation in this culture is regarded as opportunities for individuals who take birth to emancipate dai propri condizionamenti e riscoprire la propria natura di esseri spirituali eterni, consapevoli e indicibilmente felici. La società moderna – è sotto gli occhi di tutti – segue un diverso modello di sviluppo, un modello nel quale il fine trascendente è sempre meno presente. Che lo si voglia o no, che ne siamo consapevoli o no – tanto più oggigiorno, cinquant’anni dopo la rivoluzione sessuale e le parole di personaggi come Jack Kerouac – il concetto stesso di “amore” che respiriamo è profondamente diverso da quello che respirava un uomo della Tradizione. Probabilmente non esiste un termine più adulterato nel significato, più abusato nell’essenza, più polisemantico anche quando in un contesto definito. Alzino la mano quanti di noi non si sono ripromessi di non usare mai più tale parola proprio perché atterriti dalla banalità e dalla confusione nella quale l’abbiamo relegata. Ma poi ci siamo ricreduti, e non siamo riusciti a tener fede a questa promessa. Perché? Perché profondamente ne abbiamo bisogno. Nessuno può fare a meno di amare, l’Amore è parte integrante di noi, un’insopprimibile esigenza, qualcosa che non è necessario mettere in agenda per ricordarsi che è estremamente importante nelle nostre altrimenti piccole vite. Non mi sto riferendo soltanto ai rapporti di coppia bensì anche all’amore tra amici, per i familiari, per il prossimo. Già Aristotele insegnò that man is a social being: it can not be happy if you do not enter into intimate relationships with other beings. But if true, how true it is that no one can refrain from love, so is the fact that everyone loves in a different way and for different reasons. The reasons with which we approach love in a very significant affect our choices and therefore our lives. If we look at the relationships around us we see many shades of these reasons and, looking even more closely, even predict the future of these emotional meetings. Some, for example, could easily be squared stylized page for the game room: affection based on unmet needs, such as closed birds that have lost their voice in a cage with the plate quid pro quo, as some commercial contracts to ensure the evening of sex, impeccable social image, or partially paid the mortgage payment. It is quite mathematical: when those conditions are less desirable - and sooner or later are less and less - the report falls back on itself, looks, and not finding anything goes. As the above example is a rough time because, unfortunately, extremely common. Clearly there are many intermediate levels, a glaring example is what has to be motivation underlying the desire to put an end to the sense of loneliness. We say that the level of love and satisfaction in all of these paradigms of love is directly proportional to the depletion of the ego, because ego is the real obstacle to love. Therefore, the environment around us is polluted by negative values \u200b\u200bbefore the carbon monoxide and high-frequency electromagnetic fields, negative values \u200b\u200bthat result from abysmal ignorance of human beings as a whole and the laws that guide him invisible. The man knows these laws of tradition and makes the foundation of his building in the world. Man of Tradition, for example, knows that it is the attempt of satisfaction without taking into due consideration the needs of the that condemns us to a superficial satisfaction; know that love, in its pathetic size of exclusivity is not really correct to call this function and when Love is reactivated, they love all creatures. He knows he should not ever balance sheet in hand, invest in the attacks, and should always invest in affection. He knows that love is its most noble function, its greatest asset, but also to reach them develop their own trends, because if you do not learn to channel them in a timely manner will trigger the dynamics that will corrupt and dissociate this resource though inexhaustible, and in him and those around him.
