[Guest guest]

" When a man dwells on the pleasures of sense,

attraction for them arises in him. From attraction

arises desire, the lust of possession, and this leads

to passion, to anger.

 

From passion comes confusion of mind, then loss of

remembrance, the forgetting of duty. From this loss

comes the ruin of reason, and the ruin of reason leads

man to destruction...

 

For when the mind becomes bound to a passion of the

wandering senses, this passion carries away man's

wisdom, even as the wind drives a vessel on the waves.

 

The man who therefore in recollection withdraws his

senses from the pleasures of sense, his is a serene

wisdom.

 

In the dark night of all beings awakes to Light the

tranquil man. But what is day to other beings is night

for the sage who sees.

 

Even as all waters flow into the ocean but the ocean

never overflows, even so the sage feels desires, but

he is ever one in his infinite peace.

 

For the man who forsakes all desires and abandons

all pride of possession and of self reaches the goal

of peace supreme."

Bhagavad-Gita, Ch.2 v.62-71
