"I've
noticed that a lot of people don't notice the obvious.
Then
I found that it's not their eyesight, but their prejudices, that clouds their
vision."
Thank
you, Pankaj, for this insightful post. You hit the nail on the head. Prejudices
blind us to everything good within us and outside us. Blinding prejudices. Hate
inspiring prejudices. Arrogant prejudices. Obsessive prejudices.
They
dehumanize people and make them forget who they are. God decided to make this
fantastic specimen, the human being, and then played mischief. He gave him an
ego as a huge obstacle which would actually make the human feel good on the
surface, so much so that it would ultimately camouflage the real pitfalls.
On
the other hand, the soul which humans are meant to seek was embedded within
each human but man would seek only what he can see outside of him with his
eyes. The inner eye was disabled by the ego.
…and
so, man is overpowered and misled constantly by his own sense of self
importance and a lack of cognizance and understanding of his inner world. He
revels in artificial light and rejoices in the myth that it is real light.
