Why so fragile?

Why do we crave for power so much?  Have you ever thought about it?
When we feel that we are losing control over something or someone, we get frustrated. 
To hide the fragility of the mind, we seek power. We think that being powerful can fulfil our desires.
Our intuition is right, but interpretation is wrong. What we see as power, is in reality the absence of it. We are fooled by our impulses & our emotions. 

If you are mature enough, you should know by now that, we can’t change the world, but we can change ourselves. The transformation takes place within us & it is mimicked by the world.
Moving ahead with this conclusion makes it obvious, that we can’t force our power on the world.
If you’ll try to do it, the world will force its power upon you. And you will be absolutely demolished.  Therefore, a wise person will never force his opinions, his views & his decisions on the world.

The power is to gain so much control over yourself, that your every action, your every word gets noticed. It is to become so absolutely certain & precise about your decisions, that you will command the respect of others. The more we try to force our power outside, the more vulnerable our situation becomes.

How many times have you noticed yourself getting angry or scared or jealous? How many times have you given the control of your life to your mind? How many times have your desires embarrassed you? And finally, how many times have you given yourself an excuse or worse, justified your mistake? We are scared to change ourselves. We fear the inward flow of the power, because we know that it has the potential to change us drastically.
The change, which might not be acceptable to our mind. The change, which might not be our idea of happiness. The change, which we are refusing, to be the source of the Power.

I believe that sacrifice of the urge; is a way to gain the power. How many times have you preferred silence over a pointless argument? There are a thousand questions like this, which we can ask ourselves. We need to observe our behaviour. We need to understand, that mind is not divine. Mind is not the source of the power. It is merely a laboratory. You can refuse the order of your mind, if your conscience denies it. Having interest in our own actions is important. We are responsible for our behaviour, because our behaviour is going to shape the world, at least the world; we are concerned about.

In Geeta, Krishna consoles Arjun who is unwilling to kill his own relatives in the battle. The words by Krishna are beautiful & they define power dexterously.
“The battle is not for you. Neither it is by you... Know this & you’ll fight without anger, you’ll kill without hatred.”
