Avoid these 3 Desires for Spiritual Progress | Lord Krishna Warns | Swami Mukundananda | Gita

One must avoid 3 kinds of desires to progress in the spiritual path. Why? Because these desires of the world cloud one's intellect and mind from grasping and applying the proper spiritual knowledge that leads to the welfare of the soul. For this reason, Lord Krishna emphasizes them in detail in this Bhagavad Gita verse 3,38 so that we can be aware of the hidden dangers of these desires. Swami Mukundananda narrates a beautiful allegorical story from the scriptures to illustrate this point that these 3 kinds of desires are a formidable enemy, and in proportion to the grade of our desires, the spiritual knowledge we may have heard and read gets shrouded. ----------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:44 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 38 Chanting 1:07 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 38 Translation by Swami Mukundananda 1:33 Commentary by Swami Mukundananda: Avoid these 3 desires for spiritual progress. Answer Today's Quiz in Pinned comment! ----------------------------------------------------- Knowledge of what is right and what is wrong is called discrimination. This discrimination resides in the intellect. However, lust is such a formidable adversary that it clouds the discriminatory ability of the intellect. Shree Krishna gives three grades of examples to illustrate this principle. Fire, which is the source of light, gets covered by smoke. This partial obscuring is like the thin cloud that sāttvic desires create. A mirror, which is naturally reflective, gets obscured by dust. This semi-opacity is like the masking impact of rājasic desires on the intellect. And an embryo gets concealed in the womb. This complete obfuscation is like the consequence of tāmasic desires subverting the power of discrimination. ----------------------------------------------------- धूमेनाव्रियते वह्निर्यथादर्शो मलेन च | यथोल्बेनावृतो गर्भस्तथा तेनेदमावृतम् || 38|| dhumenavriyate vahnir yathadarsho malena cha yatholbenavrito garbhas tatha tenedam avritam BG 3.38: Just as a fire is covered by smoke, a mirror is masked by dust, and an embryo is concealed by the womb, similarly one’s knowledge gets shrouded by desire. ----------------------------------------------------- 🙏 Holy Bhagavad Gita - Song of God videos in Gita Gyan Yagna series are published every Saturday at 9 am EST/6:30 pm IST.
