Bodhayanti Parasparam Vol 6
soul forming in due course of time Samskaras which brought about their resultant effects. The effect of Samskaras is the commencement of the feelings of comforts, miseries, joys and sorrows.
Our liking for comforts and joys gained momentum to lead a pleasurable life. To attain it, the man started exploring ways and means. He even went to the extent of achieving it at the cost of others being put to hardships. When his attempts were thwarted he has fallen so low as to get possessed by anger, prejudice, arrogance, egoistic behaviour etc. thus commenced the Asuric pravritti in human beings under the influence of Satan. This is all due to his losing sight of the origin from where he has descended, getting attached to worldly pleasures deeming them to be all in life. The bliss and the balanced state in which he was existing prior to coming into creation were completely lost sight of.
The more we indulged in worldly pleasures, greater are the attempts made to indulge in them, with our energies getting sapped in due course of time. However, in the ultimate analysis, we discover that we are not enjoying the worldly pleasures, rather they are enjoying us. It is like a fly, seeing honey spilled on the ground, very cautiously remaining at the edge tries to suck the same initially. However, intoxicated by the taste of the honey, it gets emboldened, sits right on the honey, sucks to its heart’s content. However, when it wants to fly away from it, it realizes its inability to get its legs released from the honey which got stuck up, ultimately it dies a sweet death. It is all true in our case also, having plunged headlong in worldly pleasures we find ourselves helpless to get out of the clutches of the satan. It is all the play of the satan.
