Pearls of Wisdom - 58

Continual process of birth and death (Explained by Lord Kapila):

The attached householder remains in his family life, which is full of diplomacy and politics. Always spreading miseries and controlled by acts of sense gratification, he acts just to counteract the reactions of his miseries, and if he can successfully counteract such miseries, he thinks that he is happy.

Sometimes he earns money by committing some violence, and though he employs it in the service of his family, he only eats a little portion of the food thus purchased, and he goes to hell for whom he earned the money in such an irregular way.

(To be continued...)
