Guest guest Posted September 25, 1999 Report Share Posted September 25, 1999 Sri: Sri Lakshminrisimha Parabrahmane Namaha Sri Ramanujaya Namaha Sri Nigamantha Mahadesikaya Namaha SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA - translation by Sri.V.N.Gopala Desikan Chapter III slOkA 41 Translation : ArjunA (the best of BharatAs), therefore controlling in the beginning itself the indriyAs, you kill this sinful desire , which destroys knowledge and discrimination. Commentary : Therefore , ArjunA, kill this desire or passion. In the case of a person engaged in jnAna yOgA, this desire makes him lose interest in realising his soul. It creates liking for sense objects and worldly pleasures. Being in this world, in contact with prakriti and material things , you are engaged in activities of the senses. So you should first control your senses in karma yOga, then you should kill this sinful enemy, which is desire. This desire or passion destroys knowledge relating to the real nature of the soul, and its special characteristics , which distinguish it from others. adiyEn, senthil (Courtesy : Sri Visishtadvaita Research Centre) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
