Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 !!Hari Aum!! Shree Narasimhan's reference of slokas from Chapter 2 is very apt. They throw light on the mechanics of the build up of 'desires'. e.g. the slokas nos.62 & 63. In a nut shell it all begins in the mind. As we dwell more on a 'thing' we get to 'associate' with it more, which leads to the 'build'up of 'desire'for the 'thing'. Strength of the 'desire' equals the 'anger' which creates 'illusion'. Once one falls into the trappings of 'illusion', 'frustrations' and 'bewilderments' start showing up. It doesn't take much time for a person then to start losing his discriminatory abilities, common sense, and finally the 'intellect'which holds the keys to 'ethics' and 'values'. With the abandoning of the 'intellect' the person perishes. The evidence of this can be read in the news papers everyday, people committing innumerable crimes out of sheer 'anger' and 'desire'. Is Life's purpose is the 'fullfillment' of all 'desires'? If it is to reach the state of 'desirelessness' what are the mechanics? I think sloka 59 of the same chapter has a hint. Hope there will be lots of our members who can contribute valuable info on these matters. Looking ahead to very vibrant discussions.
