अन्यच्छ्रेयोऽन्यदुतैव प्रेयस्ते
उभे नानार्थे पुरुषँसिनीतः ।
तयोः श्रेय आददानस्य साधु भवति
हीयतेऽर्थाद्य उ प्रेयोवृणीते ॥ १॥
ANYAT SREYO NYAD UTA EVA PREYASTE
UBHE NANARTHE PURUSHAM SINITAH |
TAYOH SHREY ADADANASHYA SADHU BHAVATI
HIYATE ARTHATYAH U PREYO VRUNITE ||1
YAMA SAID , ONE IS GOOD OTHER IS PLEASANT. THESE TWO HAVE DIFFERENT OBJECTIVES AND CHAIN MAN. ONE WHO SELECTS GOOD ALONE IS BLESSED ,BUT ONE WHO SELECTS PLEASANT ,LOSES FROM TRUE END |1
The shloka is the starting of the teaching of the things that we face in life and how we get trapped . In life we make decisions all the time . When we select things when we buy groceries or cook or eat . Did we buy things that are healthy and tasty or only tasty . Did we eat too much and did we indulge . We know what is good and what give pleasure but is not good . Certain actions will lead to attachments and increase desires to have bodily pleasures . They appear to be more attractive but lead to attachments or chains . This is very easy to understand - the circle of mind - we do an action and that action leads to impression and that impression leads to desire and that leads to an action again and this circle continues and theses desires will lead to reincarnation. This si simple to understand .But how come what is good will also chain us ? The answer is not in the good or bad part ,but in WHY WE DID DO GOOD ACTION? Giving donation for good cause is good but if we did it with desire to be mentioned in the fund raiser or desire to have a plaque put on the wall then that Good action also will lead to attachment and that will bring us back for another life . So the intention with which we do the Good action is the cause of bondage or chains .
