CHAPTER TEN
Vihay verirham kamartham chanarthsankulam I
Dharmayamapietyorhetum sarvatraanadaram kuru II (1)
Desire is the world of relations. This is your enemy along with accumulation and added to it money full of disaster. Even leave goodness cause of the preceding two.
Swapanederjalvatpashye dinani trirhi panch va I
Mitrakshetradhanagardaryadidisampadah II (2)
Friends, land, money, palaces, Wife, property are like dream or like mirage lasting three or five days.
Ashtavakar is self realized person and he has been expressing his experience in a impressing manner to convince a seeker like King Janka to see reality for himself.
Since our birth we have seen many influential people having lot of material facilities but now they are no more along with their material accumulations.
Every thing has vanished.
This is transient nature of material acquisition.
The wife who pretends to love you has been cheating you and herself. Her body is also decaying with pessage of time and she will vanish oneday. Even the embodiment with which we have identified ourselves is going to leave usw.

The wife who pretends to love you has been cheating you and herself. Her body is also decaying with pessage of time and she will vanish oneday. Even the embodiment with which we have identified ourselves is going to leave usw.
Is it not better that we realize ourselves and de- identify with what is entire material acquisition
Lord Krishna has laid down perfect practice to attain mental peace in chapter five of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta
sa barahamyogtuktatma sukham akshayamashnute I
I
ye hi sansparshanja bhoga dukhyonya ev te I
adyaantvantah kontey teshu na ramate budhah II (5 21-22)
Whose mind remains unattached to sense objects, derives through meditation satvica joy which dwells in mind; then that yogi having completely identified himself through meditation with Lord/self, enjoys eternal bliss.
The pleasures born out of contact with sense objects are verily source of suffering only as they have a beginning and an end.
Arjun! a wise man does not indulge in them.
Mind is agitated only by the contact of the senses with sense objects and in other way. A mental wave is never produced by anything that has not been heard or seen. So the mind in embodiment which controls senses are gradually is stilled and is perfectly at peace. Embodied self soul having steadied its mind, derives, through meditation satvica joy which dwells in mind. Then yogi completely identifying with eternal self through meditation enjoys eternal bliss
the pleasures derived from sense objects are temporary and perishable. they aew source of suffering as they have beginning and end. so the wise never indulges himself in those objects.
leaving company of sense objects and with unflinching meditation of lord, one gets freedom and eternal liberation.
worldly happiness is always transitory but self is eternal. such happiness coming out of sense objects is not companion of self but by attachment with nature, all this trouble has ascended upon the blissful soul. by shedding attachment with nature one enjoys its blissful self
shaknotiehaiv yah sodhum parak sharirvimoksharhat I
amkrodhudbhavam vegam sa yuktah sa sukhi narah I I( 5.23)
Who is able to withstand the urges of lust and anger in this very life before casting this body, is a yogi and is alone a happy man.
All the sense objects work through the commands of mind which is store of our past and present experiences.
It also takes the impressions of sense objects with the help and under the control of intellect. Main sense of lust is uncontrollable and every desire is depiction of lust, may for money, material, women, and so on. Non fulfillment of desire ends in anger, violence and so many other repercussions. If an embodied soul unattached with embodiment is not affected by these two phenomenons, then this self soul is yogi and entitled for self realization. This self soul is witness of reactions coming naturally and does identify with any of them. Thus is liberated.
Yatra yatra bhavettrishana sansar vidhi tatra vei I
Prodhveragayamashritya veettrshna sukhi bhavII(3)
Wherever there is desire, it is world there. You have to establish in dispassion to be free from the transient bundle of relationship you have created by identification
Trishnamatratmko bandhastannasho mokashychayate I
Bhavasansaktimatrerh praptitushtimuharmuhu II (4)
Mere desire is bondage for a self soul and desire less ness is liberation. Detachment with transient world starts giving happiness. Essential nature of bondage is nothing other than desire and not being attached to this changing world is everlasting joy of liberation.
Another illuminating instance given by Lord Krishna in Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta:
Bondage is nothing but identification with reactions being translated into form of actions and liberation is witnessing them coming as they are coming and no attachment with them
yoantah sukhohantaramastathaantrjyotiev ye I
sa yogi barahamnirvarham barahambhutoadhigachhati II 5(24)
Happy within him self, enjoying within him self the delight of the soul and illuminated by inner light of soul, such a yogi identified with lord/self attains self who is all peace.
Self is all pervading. Who sees self, who enjoys self alone and gratified with self, who rests in self, whose innermost is illuminated by the existence of self within, such a yogi identified with Lord/Self attains Lord/ Self who is the ultimate end.
labhante barahamnirvarham rishia kshirhkalmashah I
chhindvedha yatatmnah sarvbhuthite ratah II ( 5.25)
Doubts dispelled altogether and a sinless soul engaged in welfare of all beings is firmly established in Lord/ Soul, attains all peace Lord/ Self alone.
Knowing the reality of lord being beyond any evil and pervading all beings without any discrimination,
a yogi whose all sins are wiped out, is firmly established in Lord/Self, engages in service of all beings without any difference as he sees Lord in every inanimate or animate object, ultimately attains Self alone as he is Self and nothing but Consciousness.
kammkrodhviyuktanam yatinam yatchetsam I
abhihito barahamnivarham vartate viditatmanam II (5.26)
The yogi whose mind is subdued, is devoid of lust and anger. Who have realized lord/self in all being, indulges in self all around.
Realized man sees self alone in all modifications and for him there exists nothing except self.
such a wise man finds things, place, fruit of action, time, knowledge, work, agents of work, faith, state, form and goal all arising from the nature and nature being modification of self ,as such nothing else than self pervading. So he is completely established in self while even living in body.

All thoughts of external enjoyment banished mentally, with gaze fixed on space between the eye-brows, having regulated outgoing and incoming
breaths of nostrils, Yogi who has brought his senses, mind and intellect under control and is free from
DESIRE, FEAR AND ANGER IS EVER LIBERATED.
Tuvamekashchetanah shudho jadam vishvmastathua I
Avidyaapi na kinchitsa ka bubhutsa tathapi te II (5)
You are one pure consciousness and this world is non existing and transient. The ignorance itself is nothing, so what you want to know?
If we have some introspection of this transient world, we find nothing except Supreme self in every form. The material nature is not different from that of Lord Krishna but illusion caused by this formidable power is so fascinating that this entire spectrum of world seems to be true. The pure consciousness has caused this universe and pervading it too. Identification of self soul with transient body makes the soul come and go in different forms, forgetting its real purity.
Rajayam sutah kalatrarhi sharirarhi sukhani ch I
Sansakatasyapi nashtani tav janamani janamani II(6)
You have been attaching and identifying with the kingdom, sons, wives, in all embodiments you attained due to attachment but all of them have gone oblivion.
As told by great Saint all the while in different bodies, pure self has been traveling and identifying with and its relations but they have all gone, pure self consciousness is still there to attain self realization.
Almarthen kamen sukritenaapi karmarhah I
Ebhaya sansarkantare na vishrantamabhunmanah II (7)
Kritam na kat janamani kayen mansa gira I
Dukhamayasadam karam tadyapiuprmaytam II (8)
You have put in hard and painful work with this mind, intellect senses and body, now you must retire yourself.
Lord Krishna has described these self souls as of devilish nature in chapter 16 of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta:
Dvuo bhutsargo lokeasmindeiv assur ev ch I
Devo vistarshah prokt assur parth mey shrirhu II (16.6)
There are two types of creation of beings in this universe, the divine and demonic. I have already explained qualities of divine nature, O Parth! Now listen from me the qualities of demonic nature.
Parvritim ch nivritim ch janah na vidur assurah I
Na shoucham naapi chacharo na satyam teshu vidyateI I(16.7)
Beings of demonic nature don’t know as to what to do and what not to do, they also lack cleanliness, good behavior and truth
This eternal message of Lord Shri Krishna is meant for human beings. The nature of other beings has been pointed out for comprehension. The other beings are born to undergo the fruit of their attachment with the material nature. While dominated by mode of purity self soul gets the embodiment of demigod. Lower entities are born due to ignorance. Only human beings are in the middle. They have golden chance to go to home, get the body of demigods or go to lower worlds.
The choice is with the human beings. Adopting divine qualities lead to liberation and demonic qualities lead to lower births, mixing both of them ensures birth in human planet.
There is divine option. Complete deviation from three modes of qualities leads one to God head, back to home, in the service of Lord Krishna.
Those having demonic nature don’t know how to act according to regulations lay down by scriptures nor do they want to know.
They act as per their whims.
Asurim yonimapanah mudhah janmanijanmani I
Mamaprapyev kontey tato yantiadhamam gatim II(16.20)
On attaining demonic wombs again and again, these foolish self souls never reach me, rather the go to condemnable destination.
The purpose of human form is to obtain our real home from where we strayed in the lap of material nature. Real home is Godhead Lord Krishna whose company is readily available, if one leaves the company of material nature. This is to be done by relinquishing our attachment with what we have been assimilating for time immemorial, while under going the cycle of birth and death.
If one still chooses demonic qualities, the Lord has more of demonic wombs to put the self soul in to obtain new demonic bodies. then there is no chance of going home. Choice is with self soul.
Lord is going to elaborate as to how to get rid of these demonic qualities.
Trividham narkeasyedam dvuaram nashamatmnah I
kamah krodhahastatha lobhastasmadetat trayam tayejet II
etairvimukatah kontey tamoduvareristribhirnarah I
achartiatamanah shreyastato yati pram gatim II 16.(21-22)
Lust, Anger and Greed, these are three gates of Hell which cause fall of spirit. So all these three, are to be given up.
Arjun! One freed from these three gates of hell, one acts for self realization and attains the Supreme Self.
What corrupts an etrernal self soul?
Self soul, even being the reflection of Lord Krishna himself, is transmigrating from one body to other with no end.
LUST IS THE ROOT CAUSE
Lust for of sense gratification leads to desire of sense object. when one fails to acquire object, it leads to anger which is the cause of delusion, when sense objects are easily acquired, the embodied self soul desires to acquire more of it. This is greed. These three jointly cause the attachment and identification with material nature. By and by self soul is so conditioned with material nature that it does not even try to explore reality of life. Life is eternal and same. But for these three open gates leading to attachment with material nature are rightly termed as gates to hell. lust, desire, anger and greed dominate material nature. These three are born of passion mode of nature. Passion, desire, lust are so enter woven that one cannot differentiate in between them. Lust, anger and greed lead the self soul to hell of attachment with material nature, resulting self soul for his onwards travel from one womb to another.
Lord has advised self soul to detach from theses three looters to emancipate itself.
Free from three gates of hell lust, anger and greed, self soul tries for self realization and attains ultimate supreme self.
