- Those who are attached to the body, they do not hesitate to do any evil to keep the senses and mind happy. Such actions of those who become irrational are due to the 'tamas' nature
* Why does man have to sin even though he does not want to? Why is sin compared to a snake?
* Questioner: K.N. Rajdev, 3 Gayatri Krupa Society At. Surendranagar (Saurashtra)
No final definition of sin and virtue can be given. Simply put, it is a sin to hurt someone with mind-promise-deeds, to do evil deeds, to commit acts against humanity like violence-murder-theft-condemnation. The Atharva Veda says to the sin of the mind: I don't love you In the Mahabharata, we have not heard the atonement of the four - Mitradrohi, Namakharam, Strihatya, and Gurudhati. The scriptures also say that the sins committed in other areas are destroyed in the holy field but the sins committed in the holy field remain the same.
Man sins by subduing raga and commits sin by becoming a victim of hatred. Lust leads to sin and fear leads to sin. He who conceals the fruit of sin is also considered a sinner. Sheikh rightly says that two things motivated me to sin: adversity and imperfect intellect. Doubt in God and in oneself is a sin and believing in both is a virtue. The concept of unity is virtue and adhering to plurality is counted as unforgivable sins like deception, deception, betrayal etc. That is why it is said in Ramcharit Manas about untruth that even if many sins come together, they cannot equal untruth. Even if heaps of closed chalk are collected it cannot equal the mountain.
Man sins because he considers himself a body, not the sanctity of his soul. God says that sinners have such a nature that they do not like my worship. In the third canto of Kurukshetra, the poet Ramdhari Singh 'Dinkar' presents us with an important question:
'' Paapi kaun manuj se uska
Who steals justice?
Obstacles to seeking justice
Sis Udane Wala? "
The battle of Mahabharata was fought on this very thing. Fighting for justice is not a sin. In fact, when we blame others, we seldom think that my heart is sinless, right?
Now let us discuss on the basis of the Bhagavad Gita why man is tempted to sin from a philosophical point of view.
There are three types of human beings: sattvic, rajasic and mental. Humans can be born with divine wealth and also with demonic wealth. Here sin is associated with the accumulated karma of pre-birth and the karma performed in the present life.
In the third chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna that all animals perish in nature. That is, he does deeds by subduing his own nature. Even the wise man moves according to his own nature. Raag-dwesha is hidden in the senses, that is, in the matter of each sense. Man has to face rage and hatred, tension, willingly or unwillingly. Arjuna asks Lord Krishna more clearly the meaning that man commits sin even though he does not want to. Lord Krishna responds from the area and says: The work produced by Rajoguna is anger which is not possessed by the victims. And he is a great sinner. Just as a mirror is covered with smoke, fire and dirt, and just as a fetus is covered with fire, so knowledge is covered with work (desires). The senses, the mind and the intellect are the abode of all work. This work captivates the soul by covering the knowledge only through the mind, intellect and senses. Attachment is the mother of sin. Man sins when he becomes immoral.
Further back in the 14th chapter of Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna clarifies about the nature of man with divine wealth and demonic wealth. Brightness, forgiveness, patience, inner purity, not being hostile to anyone, not being proud of reverence in oneself - these are all the characteristics of a man born with divine wealth (virtues). While hypocrisy, arrogance, pride, anger, harshness and ignorance - these are all the characteristics of human beings born of demonic wealth.
Those who are attached to the body alone do not hesitate to do any evil to keep the senses and mind happy. Karma that is performed solely out of ignorance, regardless of consequences, harm, violence, or power, is called tamas karma. A doer is a person who does not control himself, is uneducated, arrogant, deceitful, destroys the livelihood of others, mourns and is lazy. Animals behave only according to their own nature. The jivatma renounces the body only with its karma samskaras and commits sin or virtue under the influence of those samskaras as well as doomed karmas. Thus nature is responsible for sin.
Temperamental limitations can be subdued by subduing the mind. It’s hard to give up temperament completely. Man is bound by the triune maya and subdues it and practices papadi. Bhagwati Charan Verma, while discussing sin-virtue, has rightly said that "We do not sin, we do not do virtue, we do what we have to do". Man dances as nature dances.
Sin has been compared to a snake because both sin and the snake have venom. Blindly bites, bites and endangers another's life. Man is poisoned with many sins like jealousy, hatred, envy, bigotry. If man forgets restraint, he can do great harm to others. The venom of a snake or a scorpion is in its limbs but the venom of a sinner or an evil is in its limbs. There is no difference between educated and uneducated. The drumbeat of today's wars between countries is a testament to the fact that man has become a member but his bestiality is still intact.
