When a person carries baggage more than his capacity to carry weight ,his face becomes distorted in pain.
similar is the case when one's personality carries the heavy load of ego and self-interest.A constant conflict, a feeling of perpetual dissatisfaction and irritation with self and rest of world are some of the obvious outcomes.This creates a huge barrier between the person who are around him.He becomes unpleasant and emotionally volatile.we are aware of all this ,yet we do not make efforts to reduce the weight of the baggage.
The more selfish we are,higher the probability that we become complicated ,losing simplicity of mind.being materialistic, one loses the quality to appreciate,for example the beauty of nature ad daw to remain engrossed in it.
If each one of us pursues self-interest there can bee conflict as two objectives ca be contradictory to each other,leading to violence,
However selfless action-The capacity to think beyond 'I, me,myself ' and to persue action beyond those limits --can reduce substantially the possibility of such conflicting outcomes.Selfless action is therefore ,an important way of attaining salvation in life..
Only selfless action can deliver peace and bliss hence, if we need peace in life let us not find faults with others ; we need to identify our own pitfalls first. If we cut down on our heavy baggage of ego and self intrest a bit, it won't be difficult to realise the vastness withinus and find joy in life...
