The trained animals of a circus perform miraculous feats
impressing the onlookers. The tamed animals are praised, earn superiority of
status over others of their breed and are well looked after. The tamers and
trainers are paid well. Above all, the owner of circus earns large profits from
these animals, who otherwise, because of their wild habits wandered restlessly
in the forest creating troubles for others. Even the domestic animals can not
be fully utilized without proper disciplining
and training. After attaining puberty, a calf (or a colt ) can not drive
a plough or a cart on its own. It is not easy to ride any horse and make it
trot. Other animals like camel and bullocks too do not have an inherent
capacity to drive any vehicle. They earn capacity of proper execution of their
responsibility thorough a prolonged and difficult process of training by cajoling
and reprimand. This is known as sadhana. A quarter of internal sensory nerve
centres of the human existence, viz, mun ( mind ) in deeper lavels of
consciousness ) and ahankar ( counter part of buddhi in deeper lavels of
consciousness ) is comparable to a group of four wild animals. In the natural
state, these four constituents of consciousness
play truant. By virtue of evil deeds of lives in early births, these are
covered with thick coatings of evil animal instincts. The device to remove
these coating may be termed as sadhana. Refining the animal instincts and then developing
them in to those becoming of a human being is an expertise comparable to that
of a sculpture who transforms an irregular raw stone in to an artistic statue. Development
of this expertise is called self –discipline ( atm –sadhana ). Although this
indeavour is as difficult as training of wild animals or sculpturing a raw piece of rock, it is pregnant with
innumerable potentiallties.
