dhaayato viShayaan - Thinking over objects.

In the second chapter of GEETHAA, the Lord spells out the birth of Desire and how it pulls down man to his "death."

_____________________________________________________________________

THINKING OF AN OBJECT, SAY A CAR, a man gets into a vortex. Coulouful beauties, convenience, saving of time, rise in status and the like. Attachment for the car takes root.

A desire raises its hood. He wants to possess a car. No money but the desire persists.

He thinks of borrowing from a close freind. The freind loves his money more and politely declines. He loses balance and yields to anger.

Anger leads to delusions.

Delusions to memory failure.

Unreliable memory results in loss of discriminination.

Loss of viveka is chaos in life.

These two shlokas were explainfd to me by a venerable old man. My initiation into GEETHAA lore. He also inroduced me to Shankaracharya. The "car "as his idea. I WAS IN AN IMPRESSIONABLE AGE- 19 YEARS. A student of SAMSKRUT.

LATER THE SAME YEAR I SAW THE DRAMA IN ACTION. The old man's son got into the car vortex ending with the predicted result !

WATCH THE PROCESSION OF MEN AND EVENTS. BUT FORGET IT AS SOON AS IT PASSES OUT. PROCESSION OF THOUGHTS MUST BE NIPPED IN THE BUD.
