Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 primarily because they pursue deleterious influences that harass man and lead him into ruin. Inner peace is lost when the senses feed man on inciting wants and infructuous desires. For the sadhaka (spiritual aspirant), what the senses imbibe must always be pure and saathwic in nature. The sounds, the sights, the impressions, the ideas, the contacts, the impacts - all must promote reverence, humility, balance, equanimity and simplicity. If the impressions are raajasic (inducing passion) , the mind will get agitated and vengeful. If they are thamasic (inducing dullness of mind), the mind will not even be aroused into the awareness of its own shortcomings. It is only the saathwik impulses that will keep the mind on an even keel, fully concentrated on the Atma on which one must contemplate in order to attain peaceod.- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today11th December 2005 Shopping Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at Shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
