All things exist at 3 levels :
आधिभौतिक / ādhibhautika,
आधिदैविक / ādhidaivika,
आध्यात्मिक / ādhyātmika,
--
Spiritual : आध्यात्मिक।
Anything whatsoever either as Reality, Thought or Material has these three aspects, and we can deduce and think of the existence of anything in these 3 terms.
Thus to approach a problem in Life, or think of life itself has three ways to look at.
The Science of things in terms of knowledge, known and the entity that knows is the collection and compilation of data in various ways.
This reminds me of Laplace Transformation and Fourier Transformation.
The use of these Mathematical concepts is at the practical level.
We integrate by parts and distinguish again by differentiating partially.
This is but an analogy how we could view the problems that we come across in understanding the Life. Not of an individual, but the whole movement of life that has no past nor future but are distinguished so according to retrospect and prospects imposed upon the Life.
By whom?
Say by 'thought'.
Me Too.
Suddenly there is a whole volcano of Me Too stories have started erupting.
The world and the individual have neither an escape from nor a recourse to absolve from these stories.
Accused but not acquitted.
Nor emancipated.
While going through these stories in print or media, or through experience in one's own life, one is just stunned and helpless.
But is it really such a big problem?
When one looks at this at the purely Physical / material level of course one gets a shivering or may be a pervert thrill and excitement which one may find even joy for the moment, yet the depression and the despondence this brings is horrific.
At the Mental level however comes into the picture the 'Dharma' / 'धर्म', -the आधिदैविक.
The Physical is always purely the objective, -a fact or multitude of facts.
The Mental is always a combination jumbled up mixture of the objective and the subjective.
The Spiritual is always purely the subjective.
When the subjective the 'Me' is assumed to be an object, that is an entity like innumerable other such entities, the 'Dharma' / 'धर्म', comes into play, the role of the 'Dharma' / 'धर्म', with reference to things and the persons. This 'Dharma' / 'धर्म', again has two forms :
One is the nature of things that is destiny of the Whole in diverse roles as one Compact, indivisible Unit. The person, the assumed identity of a person has no control over it and has to go through experiencing.
Thought, the mental mode attaches a sense of 'Me' to the physical body and 'no-Me' to the rest of the existence. This 'no-Me' is again named 'my-world'.
The thought is sometimes silent and comes-up again at other times. Thought itself becomes a thought where 'Me' and 'no-Me' exist together in one unit. This is the person.
This person has a role to play and thought assumes a past and a future and the incidences that happen to body-mind as a person are taken to be true.
Even at this level one can deal with 'Life' in terms of the 'Dharma' / 'धर्म', that is the collective ethics and manners of the society and the mankind.
One dictum goes thus :
शठं शाठ्यं समाचरेत् / śaṭhaṃ śāṭhyaṃ samācaret .
That means one should behave shrewdly with a shrewd one.
And this may somehow address the grievances, but ultimately to no avail any.
There is yet another form of the 'Dharma' / 'धर्म', which is one of the four Supreme goals of 'Life'
धर्म, अर्थ, काम, मोक्ष / dharma, artha, kāma, mokṣa are enumerated as the four pillars of Life and when a concerted effort is made to balance them together, Life becomes a bliss. Though there are pleasures and pains at the body-level, and certain feelings and emotions at the mental level, but there is no a sense of 'Me' in them.
After this 'Dharma' / 'धर्म', there is अर्थ / artha, that is the right purpose that gives satisfaction and removes pain and misery. The pain and misery are the bodily needs. Then the survival-instinct takes the form of काम / kāma, which means desire / becoming. It is the very seed of 'Life'. And the 'Me' seeks to survive after the destruction of the physical body. May be in the name, or in the descendants.
The instinct is purely a movement of energy but the 'thought' makes it so ugly and pervert. 'Thought' - the 'Me' as different from the 'no-Me'.
Misleading notions drive one crazy and 'Me' hopes to attain some kind of permanence in 'experience'. That is just impossible and absurd too.
Only a mature mind can see the things in the right way and then काम / kāma, the desire and subsequently a sex-urge too, is transformed into "Love', -a fulfillment, a contentment and a Grace.
Even a Benediction.
This whole path is torturous, but is the only right path to overcome the problem of the
"Me too".
When the 'Me' is deprived of past (memory) and consequent future (imagination),
"Me too" is just no more.
The Spiritual, the आध्यात्मिक / ādhyātmika, then prevails and flourishes.
