Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Control of emotions is benefecial for a house holder. There are many situations which provoke the householder to unwanted emotions like anger, jealousy, craving and coveting. Every house holder has to dance to the whims of the people surrounding him. He can not act on his own on any issue. Still he will be reprimanded for many issues that assail the family members. Well, how to live among the family without getting perturbed? It is really an art to keep yourself aloof from the situations, though living amidst them. Our conscience is clouded due to 'body consciousness'. Desires fog us. Ego deludes us. We are unable to comprehend the Real which is hidden by the thick carpet of 'body consciousness. Swami has aptly described the body akin to a pot with nine holes. A lamp kept inside the pot with nine holes won't be visible in full. Only some light glow will be visible. When the pot with the lamp is covered by a thick blanket, how the light will be visible. First remove the blanket, break the pot, then the light source will be visible in full. Sairam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
