Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hari-om ======= Bhagavad -Gita, The Third Teaching : Verse 36 - 43 = Discipline in action. ==================================================== Arjuna : Krishna, What makes a person commit evil against his own will, as if compelled by force ? f passion know it here as the enemy, voracious and very evil.37 As fire is obscured by smoke and a mirror by dirt, as an embryo is veiled by its caul, so is knowledge obscured by this.38 Knowledge is obscured by the wise man's eternal enemy which takes form as desire, an insatiable fire, Arjuna.39 The senses, mind and understanding are said to harbor desire; with these desire obscure knowledge and confounds the embodied self.40 Therefore first restrain your senses, Arjuna, then kill the evil that ruins knowledge and judgement.41 Men say that the senses are superior to their objects, the mind superior to the senses understanding superior to the mind; higher than understanding is the self.42 Knowing the self beyond understanding, sustain the self with the self. Great warrior, kill the enemy menacing you in the form of desire.43 Jai Shree Krishna ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
