Injunctions of Lord Krishna to Arjuna - 12/24

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

Gita:

 

tasmaattvamindriyaaNyaadau niyamya bharatarshhabha |

paapmaanaM prajahi hyenaM GYaanaviGYaananaashanam.h || 3 : 41 ||

 

[[Arjuna said: 36. But, by what impelled does man commit sin, though

against his wishes, O Varshneya, constrained, as it were, by force?

The Blessed Lord Said: 37. It is desire, it is anger born of the

"active, " all-devouring, all-sinful; know this as the foe here (in

this world) .

38. As fire is enveloped by smoke, as a mirror by dust, as an embryo

by the womb, so this (wisdom) is enveloped by that (desire or anger) .

39. Enveloped, O Son of Kunti, is 'wisdom' by this constant enemy of

the wise in the form of 'desire, ' which is difficult to be appeased,

like fire.

40. The senses, the mind, and the intellect are said to be its seat;

through these, it deludes the embodied by veiling his wisdom.]]

 

41. Therefore, O best of the Bharatas, controlling first the senses,

kill this sinful thing, the destroyer of knowledge and wisdom.
