Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga
62 - 63. The person who dwells on the senses gets attached to them by their association. With their association springs the desires, and from the desires comes the anger. From anger comes about bewilderment; from bewilderment, loss of memory. From loss of memory comes destruction of the intellect; from the destruction one perishes.
Bhashya :- With these two verses, the origin for the defects and means of removing them are spoken. सम्मोह means the desire to create delusion. The sign of मोह is unrighteousness and the action towards inappropriate actions, thus in Upagita the meaning has been given. In other places सम्मोह is defined as सम्मोहय्धर्मकामिना- unrighteous desire. Bewilderment of memory leads to destruction of intellect. Destruction of intellect is the non-awareness relating to the all pervading Self. ivanaSyait means going to worthless worlds of hell. This has also been mentioned in other places. “अर्धकामिन: शास्त्रे विस्मृतिर्जायते यदा | दौशादृश्टेस्त्त्तकृतेश्च नरं प्रतिपद्यते ||” - One who has unrighteous desires incurs forgetfulness of scriptures. Then due to defective perception and performing erroneous actions, he goes to lower worlds.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- सम्मोहात् means 'due to delusion‟. Even when knowing (rightly), one remembers it erroneously. Due to understanding the meaning of the statements erroneously, the conclusive wisdom also gets distorted.
