Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya
Chapter-7 Adhyātma Yogaḥ
CommentaryDesire for pleasure and aversion from suffering is the dichotomy caused by the Gunas. They have their origin in the experiences of previous births. These experiences create subtle impressions (samskāras) in the mind and manifest again, in every succeeding birth as an instinctive attraction and aversion towards those similar objects. These mental habitual tendencies (vāsanas) are a delusive force acting from the very moment of birth. One develops an inherent fondness or aversion for specific [material] things, instead of feeling joy in communion with Krishna and misery at separation from Him — as does the wise. |
