Why avoid anger?

 Why avoid anger?



Anger is as common as bribe , in the present day….๐Ÿ˜


The book "Gita" is quoted, more out of fancy…..as a good_morning wishes…

That's okay ๐Ÿ‘

Problem is , when interpretations abound!



Lazy and complacent minds tend to go by "majority" opinion!

Greedy fellows connive to fool masses…

Distorted version gets rooted!



63rd verse, chapter 2

describes the consequences of anger….

and it is a "chain of consequences"...

First consequence is infatuation (เคธเคฎ्เคฎोเคน is the word, difficult to translate ๐Ÿ™)

infatuation results in a distorted/confused_memory…

A confused memory results into destruction of intellect!

A destroyed intellect causes total_ruin



The process…..that connects these "results" are left unsaid here….


I am no exception to the general rule that "competence" to interpret Gita can be available only in an evolved being๐Ÿ™ ( enlightened!)

But here, i am merely putting a spoke into distortions spread around ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜

( Not easy to dislodge this "spoke" in the wheel๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ)


So,

I will give a possible hint of the process that connects gussa/anger with the result/consequence of infatuation/เคธเคฎ्เคฎोเคน!

The hint is….. anger and sense of discrimination cannot sit beside each other, comfortably ๐Ÿ˜œ… (discrimination runs away, at the sight of MrAnger๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก)


Absence of sense of discrimination is easier to understand its use๐Ÿ™… During a dream, when we are asleep, we cannot use discrimination, because it is unavailable. We see a dead person in dream, but we cannot "know" that he was dead&gone๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ™…. during dream, for us….he is alive ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ญ…. 

After death, we don't have sensory levels of perception…( body gone), and therefore, sense_of_discrimination is snatched away!

Now, please figure out yourselves….if anger can afford "to retain the use of sense of discrimination,"....while anger is alive???๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ


If my bit of interpretation of first few words makes sense….what about the depth of rest of the verse?



Un_angrily, yours๐Ÿ™
