LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 51

As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji

 

"Enjoyments arising out of contact (with external

objects) are verily the wombs of pain. They have, O

Arjuna, a beginning and an end. A wise man takes no

delight in them."

 

Enjoyments that arise from contact between the objects

and the sense organs are verily the sources of sorrow.

It is everyone's experience that sense pleasures make

one's mind corrupt and lead to tension, misery and

suffering. Longing for wealth, governmental authority

or power and lustful desires all spoil the mind of man

and subject him to lot of sufferings. Therefore,

realizing that there is not the least trace of

happiness in the world, one should withdraw his sense

organs from their objects.
