अविद्यायामन्तरेवर्तमानाः
स्वयं धीराः पण्डितंमन्यमानाः ।
दन्द्रम्यमाणाः परियन्ति मूढा
अन्धेनैव नीयमाना यथान्धाः ॥ ५
AVIDYAYAM ANTARE VARTAMANAH
SWAYAM DHEERAH PANDITAM ANYAMANAH |
DANDRAMYAMANAH PARIYANTI MUDHAH
ANDHEN EV NIYAMANA YATHA ANDHAH ||5
THE IGNORANT WHO LIVE IN PRESENT AND CONSIDERED TO BE WISE , EDUCATED
ARE IGNORANT AND ARE DELUDED BY CROOKED WAYS AND GO AROUND,
ARE LIKE BLIND LEADING BLIND.||5
This shloka is interesting as it criticizes the life and our reactions that is seen in our society. We have many GUSRUS and religious leaders in India and in every religion and we also see them in every city. We tend to flock to their meetings and listen to the advice and interpretation . There are learned human beings but may not be enlightened. We have been misguided by religious leaders in every religion. But more so in India. We have known many such leaders that after investigation are proved to be crooks and they were involved in sens organ satisfaction as many or all of us have done. So to learn or get guidance from them is like blind leading another blind .They don't know where they are going or may be they know they are going on wrong path and will take us to wrong destination.
We like to have guidance from learned people but before we follow a path , we need to be sure that the teacher is not at the same level as we are or more involved in mortal body pleasure goals or they will show how to reach the highest levels or NIRVANA.
