Ichashakti || Will Power in Handling Desires - [Hindi with English CC]

The question is even though mind thinks it is wrong, then why does it get attracted to the wrong? I had written a post called “The Marshmallow Experiment.” It was a very famous experiment. In that experiment, they made some kids sit in a room and the examiner puts the ladoo (Indian sweet) in front of them. The kids were told that either you eat this ladoo now, however if you eat now you will only get one and if you wait for ten minutes, you will get two of them. After that the examiner exits the room. The kids are sitting in front of the ladoos and thinking that if they wait for ten minutes, they will get two. If, I don’t eat it now, I will get two of them. At the end, very few kids could resist that temptation. Seventy percent of the kids ate the sweet before ten minutes. After that when they analyzed it further, the kids who did not eat the sweet straightway were more successful in their lives. This is because they had more will power to resist that desire to eat.

Most of the religions are based on this principle. All religions say that don’t eat now. If you don’t eat now, you will get two later. This is what the principle is. Don’t enjoy your life now. When you die and go in heaven, then you will enjoy.
