Chain Reaction

 

I put out a little slideshow on Instagram today with actor Godruma Gaura portraying verses 6.62-63 from the Gita in a sweet comedic way. Comments from viewers were:

 

“Great expressions.”

“Such a clever idea.”

“One of my favorite verses of BG.”

“So great.”

“I have experienced personally that sequence of actions and reactions.”

 

And the verses are:

 

“While contemplating the objects of the senses a person develops attachment for them and from attachment lust develops, and from lust, anger arises; from anger complete delusion arises and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost and when intelligence is lost one falls down again into the material pool.”

 

I believe everyone has personally, more or less, experienced this chain reaction. The lesson to learn from this is to avoid, as far as possible, contemplating the objects of the senses. Save yourself a lot of trouble.

 

Thank you, Godruma G. And thank you Krishna for telling us the way it is.

 

May the Source be with you!
