Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thus Spake The Lord What exactly is the cause of all grief? It is the attachment to the body that produces grief as well as its immediate precursors: affection and hate. These two are the results of the intellect considering some things and conditions as beneficial, and some other things and conditions as not. This is a delusion, this idea of beneficence and malfeasance. Still you get attached to objects that are considered beneficial and you start hating others. But from the highest point of view, there is neither; the distinction is just meaningless. There is no two at all; how can there be good and bad then? To see two where there is only one, that is Maya, or Ignorance. The ignorance that plunged Arjuna into grief was of this nature......seeing many, when there is only One.
