Surpassing forces of Vital Entities

Most of us consider our sense of enjoyment related with our sense of Being, we tend to forget that our sense of enjoyment comes from a vital aspect rather than the Truer Self. It is very easy to get confused while identifying with both, since the vital being reminds us of our sense of need and the Truer Self is merely a Silent witness to the aspect that we have within us. Consider for one moment that a person feels a dire need for something which he believes is lacking in his life, his sense of self is completely alive being dependent on such a need whereas when he is not thinking about what he feels immediately there is a different response it generates within him. The nature of the world moves in such a vital direction, whereas the nature of the Self is completely in the opposite direction. It almost feels as though we have to go against the very grain of gravity, going upstream when the water is running downstream. This is the point of crucial decision which determines the nature and the course of interpreting life's experiences.
