Good Dog vs Bad Dog - Session Three

Bhagavad-gita chapter two verse 62-63 (BG 2.62-63) clearly explains what happens from the crucial beginning of contemplation, especially contemplating objects of the senses for personal enjoyment.

Krishna explains from such contemplation one develops attachment. From this attachment a strong desire to possess, control and exploit arises - in other words LUST develops. From this lust comes anger.

Why anger? Because we cannot control and exploit anything fully or permanently to the extent we would like. It is just NOT possible - so then we get angry!!!

From this anger we fall into illusion. We think that we can and will dominate and enjoy this object the way we want; when and how we want. Thus we forget our identity and purpose.

We forget the purpose of our exploit, lose our intelligence and eventually fall into a material consciousness that is degraded and devoid of spiritual enlightenment.

The result: We see it all around us in this modern society - depression, aggression, aggravation, abuse, hypocrisy and a mad struggle for existence which is going no where quick.

We must learn to control the senses from the point of contemplation.

Remember THINKING - FEELING and WILLING - then we act. Later we often find that we also REGRET!
