Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Preamble: What is the reason of it? Swamiji says now: Verse 84 Madaahamkaara garvena tapo vidyaa balanvitaah / Samsaara kuharaavarte patitaa ghata yamtravat // On account of penance, education and muscular power, people become egoistic and their fall into the whirlwind of Samsaara is likened to the pot tied to the device for drawing water from a well. Here the pot appears to float but the same moment is sinks with a bang. One man reconciles himself saying that he will take to a life of hermitage, if his only daughter is married, whereby his problem is solved. After the marriage is over, he will be pleased to see the couple and desiring to see their happy married life by which time he becomes a grandfather. That is sinking the pot once again. He will again face several responsibilities. The strange part of it is that one who says that he will escape from these responsibilities will never be able to overcome them. But one who really escapes, does so silently.
