Delusion arises out of blind attachment to worldly objects and sense-enjoyment and prevents man from discerning the truth. 47. Grief originates from attachment 48. From affection comes imagination and through affection deep attachment is developed towards the objects of the world. 49. Attachment is against the ultimate good. 50. Attachment burns up all virtues. 51. He who sees defect in contact with sense-objects and thus acquires dispassion is a man of real renunciation. 52. Attachment does not arise in one who is self-controlled and who is dispassionate. 53. He who is full of attachment is dragged by passion. He develops desire and then craving takes a strong root in him. 54. The one source of bondage in this world is desire. 55. Craving is a disease which persists till the end of life. You can hope to gt eternal happiness only by removing it. 56. Desire is the root of all sorrow and pain. Slay this desire, enemy of peace, devotion and wisdom through discrimination, dispassion and meditation. 57. Do not develop desire for anything. If you wish to live a righteous life, then renounce all love for wealth and sensual pleasure. 58. Even if you wish to amass wealth for the sake of righteous deeds, it is better for you to develop more dispassion. Instead of washing the hands after touching the filth, it is better not to touch it at all. 59. Through Vasanas bondage is caused; with the disappearane of Vasanas,bondage also vanishes. 60. The extinction of desires ovecomes all griefs and pains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
