Why avoid anger?
Anger is as common as bribe , in the present day….๐
The book "Gita" is quoted, more out of fancy…..as a good_morning wishes…
That's okay ๐
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 ๐)
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 being๐ ( enlightened!)
But here, i am merely putting a spoke into distortions spread around ๐๐
( Not easy to dislodge this "spoke" in the wheel๐ฐ๐๐๐๐)
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 ๐… (discrimination runs away, at the sight of MrAnger๐ก๐ก๐ก)
Absence of sense of discrimination is easier to understand its use๐… 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&gone๐ฐ๐ข๐…. during dream, for us….he is alive ๐ฐ๐ญ….
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???๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐๐๐๐
If my bit of interpretation of first few words makes sense….what about the depth of rest of the verse?
Un_angrily, yours๐
