Meaning
The senses, the mind and the intellect are said to be where desire lives. Through them it covers understanding and confuses the embodied soul.
हिंदी में अर्थ
इंद्रियाँ, मन और बुद्धि, इन्हें इच्छा का निवास कहा गया है। इन्हीं के ज़रिए यह ज्ञान को ढककर देहधारी आत्मा को भ्रमित करती है।
Practise it today
Watch one craving today from start to finish: what you saw or heard, what the mind imagined, how the intellect justified it. Just observe.
Reflect tonight
Where did today's craving start: the senses, the mind, or your reasoning? What did you learn by watching it?
