Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 14
The Lord, while discussing the marks of the three modes of nature, warns a striver, to be aware of the fact, that the modes and their traits, being the evolutes of nature, undergo changes, while he himself being a fraction of the Lord is imperishable and does not undergo any change. By thinking so, the mode of goodness naturally develops, and overpowers, the modes of ignorance and passion. Attachment for happiness , relating the mode of goodness, is also a stumbling block to the attainment of a transcendental state. So a striver, should not be attached to happiness born of the mode of goodness, because such attachment, is a mark of the mode of passion. From attachment, arises desire, and from desire (unfulfilled) ensues, anger. Delusion, arises from anger. This delusion, misleads a person from the mode of passion, to the mode of ignorance, and he has a fall (Gita 2/62-63). |
