Srimad Bhagavadgeeta :-
Chapter -2. ( Samkyayogam )
Slokam- 67.

Indriyanam      hi     caratam     yanmanonuvidheeyate,
Tapasya     carati    prjnam     vayurnavamivambasi.

Caratam      =    Having relationship with pleasure giving objects,

 Indriyanam      =    The Indriyas ( sense-organs ), 

 Yat    manah anuvidhee yate,     tat      =     ( Mind ) Running behind ( the indriyas ),

 Ambasi    =    In   water,

 Navam    vayuh    iva     =      Boat    shaken by the wind,

 Asya     prajnam     =      His vivekam ( common sense / discrimination),

 Harati    hi     =     ( is ) Pulled and taken away.

A boat in which there is no person to row or sail with control,  and moving in the waters of an ocean , the wild and fast wind almost drown it, to bottom. Likewise, one ( the seeker ) who have no self-control, his state is verily like the boat in the windy waters, whose ( seeker’s ) mind runs along with indriyas ( sense-organs ) towards the pleasure giving sensuous objects.

Thereafter this seeker loses his common-sense, and also left behind from  his goal. Then the seeker move away from yoga-margam ( spiritual path ) to bhoga-margam ( path of pleasures ) , further gradually decay  and perish.

The interest of this  slokam :   Lord Krishna confirms, the self-control on sense-organs only helpful to  the seeker,  be  successful in life.

9: The Unity of the Lover and the Beloved : Part-8. The distressed souls seeking God are of one type. One who is baked in the fire of samsaram,who is tortured in this hell of earth, suffering through various sorrows, seeks riddance from the grief of the world by resort to God under the impression that God is like a parent—a father or a mother or a supreme saviour. The intention behind this devotion is redress—freedom from sorrow, the inability to bear suffering. This is the reason here behind the devotion to God. Whether this could be an adequate reason, anyone can contemplate independently for oneself. Can we love God merely because He is the only source of redemption from our sorrows? Do we want freedom from sorrow, or do we want God? That is a different question that will come up later on. Swami Krishnananda To be continued  ....

  ================================================================================= Saturday 04, Apr 2024 06:40. The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita:  Chapter 4: Stories from the Aranya Parva - 1. ================================================================================== The Aranya Parva of the Mahabharata is a very vast book. It is the largest book, next to the Shanti Parva, out of the eighteen books of the Mahabharata. All the stories, anecdotes, narrations, mythological descriptions – practically all which we may consider as popular religion – can be seen beautifully pictured in the Aranya Parva of the Mahabharata. It is one of the most interesting treatises, filled with stories of wondrous, miraculous occurrences and the possibilities, secrets, and profundities of creation.
