PROBLEMS & SOLUTION One of the main problem faced by many families is alchohol addiction, but the bigger problem is , nobody views it as a problem.Many view it as the best thing to have happened to mankind.When a problem or a curse is viewed as a blessing , finding a solution is very difficult!!! There are so many organizations which run programs for alchoholics, similar to drug rehabs. Till some years ago ,alchohol was not viewed as a social bond& drinkers were looked down upon. But now ,without alchohol very few social events happen & the drunkard is the apple of every eye.Respect for alchohol has become so high that its common to bring it home & have it alongwith family. Objections are generally met with replies like, ITS MY BODY, MY LIFE I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT IAM BORN TO BE WILD WHATS LIFE IF YOU DON’T DRINK & HAVE FUN ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS These answers are generally given because the person is unaware that the body doesn’t belong to him.The body made of 5 elements is not him & he is different from the body.The body is given by god to him , through his parents ,so that he can use this vehicle given by god to know about the infinite auspicious attributes of god and get liberated or achieve salvation. The first sutra in Brahmasutra says the same……… ATHATO BRAHMA JIGNYASA………….. which means enquiry into the supreme lord. Leaving this main purpose ,man uses the body only for pleasure , thereby not justifying the human birth given to him, which is ideal for knowing about the scriptures which teaches about god & tells us about the path to reach god. It is very similar to an organization giving a car & other facilities to an official ,so that this official remains loyal to the organization & also works for his own betterment. Instead of that if this person misuses the position, then he is liable for persecution for not using the advantages given to him in the proper manner. Here god has given us this human birth , scriptures which teach about him, intelligence etc & if we leave all these and keep wasting our time ,then its not a smart thing to do!!! Add to this, the insentient body is made functional only because of the divine energy pervading each & every nerve & vein, otherwise the body, by itself cannot act & neither the soul alone has the capacity to control it. Now,abusing the body which has god present in it in each & every part , with condemned stuff like alchohol & other condemned food , is nothing short of sacrilege. Once this realization dawns that, every bad habit is not only bad for the souls progress but also wrong utilization of the vehicle(body) provided by god for the progress , chances of changing for the better is high!!!This chance can be given only by proper understanding of dharma shastra. God being present in the body & also inside the soul is witnessing all the condemned activities and a small tribute which we can pay to god for all that he has done four own upliftment is, get rid of of all bad habits & lead a simple & pure life and use this body as a means to do seva to god.
