(Around the beginning of the month, a nugget of Wisdom from the Jagadguru may be posted
on the Chaturamnaya list : http://lists.advaita-vedanta.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/chaturamnaya )
?
?
Man's senses and mind are strange indeed. Certain times,?
he develops attachments to certain things that please, and?
aversion to certain things that repel, all conditioned by the?
vagaries of time. This is a weakness in man by which his?
mind gets agitated. An agitated mind lacks peace, and the?
consequence is suffering.?
?
Lord Krishna advises in Srimad Bhagavad Gita, ?Senses have?
attachment and aversion to their respective objects; none?
should be swayed by them. They are indeed stumbling blocks?
on the path of betterment in man's life.??

?
Hence, sense control and mind control are stated to be an?
important askesis in man's spiritual life.? ?
?
When attachment and aversion are restrained, man abides?
by the mandates of the Sastras and ceases to be under?
Nature's thrall.?
?
Thus man elevates himself and begins to experience an
unending divine joy in all aspects of his life.
We bless everyone to understand this and lead a
peaceful life.
