Even though the man of nature stumbles many times, why is there no change in man?


- Guftego - Dr. Chandrakant Mehta

- Change is life and inertia is death, man does not change because of illusion, fear or stubbornness. Nature gives a message to man that spring is followed by autumn. Man violates the laws of nature by falling in love with artificial pleasures. Stumbling is a great teacher

Even though the man of nature stumbles many times, why is there no change in man?

Stumbling blocks are the result of man's carelessness. Some stumbling blocks are self controlled and some are beyond our control hence such stumbling blocks are divided into three main categories. Aadhi-vyadhi designation has also created separate terms for all three.

(1) Divine Suffering

(r) Physical suffering

(3) Spiritual suffering

1. Adhi daivik sufferings happen by daiyoga.

E.g. Sufferings caused by baldness, heat, ghosts, ghosts, drought, plague, corona etc.

2. Adhi-physical means sufferings of a kind different from one's own gross and subtle physical trauma, which is the object of the visual senses. Such as suffering from thieves, tigers, snakes, scorpions etc.

3. Spiritual Sufferings: Suffering arising from the gross and subtle bodies of those who reside in the soul is also called spiritual heat. Such as disease, hunger, thirst, grief, infatuation, greed, envy, etc. suffering.

Man becomes worldly and gets lost in the world. Worldly pleasures attract him and lead to his downfall. Man is bound by his nature. It is difficult to change nature. Prakriti is of three types Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. Sattvic people have a pure nature. The aim of their life is not to accumulate money but to purify their mind. So they take care that no one gets harmed or hurt by mind-vachan karma. For them, the world is a laboratory of self-improvement. Sattvic people wake up to stumbles and become determined to change their lives. Examples are Dhruva, Nachiketa, Prahlad etc. Rajasic minded people are egotistical and selfish and Tamasi people are surrounded by demonic tendencies, they are rigid, proud and self-centered in nature. As mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, when consciousness and discernment manifests in this body and in the heart and senses, knowing that the sattva quality has increased in a person. As Rajo Guna increases, greed, low activity, doing deeds selfishly and competently, unrest and lust for subjects etc. increase in a person. When Tamoguni increases dullness of the mind and senses, lack of consciousness, non-engagement in dutiful actions, sleep and ecstasy, tendencies to seduce the mind are born in Tamoguni.

Knowledge is born from Sattva Guna and from Rajaguna undoubtedly Greed and from Tamoguna Pramad and Moha are born. Virtuous people attain heaven etc. high status. Rajasi people of Rajaguna position live in the middle i.e. human beings and tamasi people located (remaining) in nidra, pramad, lass etc. which are functions of tamoguna are born in degradation i.e. insects, animals, etc., lower vaginas.

The basic thing is self-realization, if a person does self-realization, he can understand that this world is not his permanent address. Relatives have received it only through debt. The Mukt Pushpanjali source collection edited by the late Devashankar Dixit and Sons contains a Sanskrit sloka as a warning about who is with whom for how long. When man closes his eyes forever, the wealth accumulated throughout his life falls on the earth. Does not go with life. Animals are tied in the cowherd. The wife also leaves the body behind while taking such a cremation to the door of the house. Relatives return from the cremation ground, while the souls who are advancing alone on the path to the afterlife bestow their good deeds. Good deeds are of great help to life. Due to bad deeds, the life gets degraded, so a person should live a life in such a way that the life is supported by good deeds.

After attaining birth in the samsara, man forgets his original form and becomes engrossed in the sheath of maya. Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha-Among the four Purusharthas, Artha and Kama are given priority and Dharma and Moksha i.e. Mukti are secondary. He considers religion mostly a matter of maturity and old age.

Saints-preachers give messages to awaken man. But man finds material pleasures so dear that he becomes infatuated and considers these pleasures as true pleasures. He does not think about the transience of pleasures. Instead of being born insensitivity, a person does acts of denial. Repentance comes later. After such penitence, a person also takes sanyasta and tries to burn his sins through penance. But most people are only interested in worldly affairs. Work, anger, greed, etc. are called the gates of hell.

Life changing after stumbling requires firm resolve, strong self-reliance, rigid self-control and faith in God or Supreme Power. A man who stumbles is more miserable than a man who vows not to make the same mistake after stumbling and changes his life through self-improvement. Valmiki Valiya's transformation from robber to Valmiki Rishi was possible only because of his tendency to abandon the path of falsehood after realizing the truth. Even though Duryodhana or Ravana stumbled, they did not engage in self-improvement activities because they were attached to Ati Raja Guna and Tamo Guna. In order to improve, not only desire is effective, but both desire and sadhana are needed. Being born with conscience in man means that he can understand the difference between good and evil, but to abandon what is bad, along with conscience, both renunciation and dispassion are needed. Vairagya means lack of attachment or attraction to that happiness.

Sri Sivakumar Goel 2014 Moral Stories I have drawn a sermon of Jesus, in which selfishness is the cause of the fall. Jesus sat alone on the Mount of Olives. Suddenly some disciples came there. Among them, one of the disciples asked: Lawlessness is increasing in the society.

Selfishness is increasing. What will be the future of this world?

Jesus Christ said: In fact, man is being blinded by selfishness. So the activity will increase with invasion. Caste shall rise upon caste and state upon state. There will be drought and earthquake in the place. As lawlessness increases, there will be competition to produce new messiahs. False prophets will show illusory paths. Be very careful at such times. Be patient Jesus prophesied that in the last days there will be difficult days. Humans will become selfish, greedy, arrogant and proud. He will become intemperate, treacherous and ungrateful. He will forget to love God and become a slave to material pleasures. People will make an appearance of devotion, but people who do not believe in God's decree will show devotion, so stay away from such people. This prophecy of Jesus appears to be 100% true.

Change is life and inertia is death Man does not change because of illusion, fear or stubbornness. Nature gives him a message that spring is followed by autumn. Man violates the laws of nature by falling in love with artificial pleasures. Stumbling is a great teacher.
