Chapter 2<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 2 verse 59<\/a><\/p>\n yathathO hyapi kaunthEya purushasya vipaSchitha: |<\/em> hE kaunthEya – Oh son of kunthI! Oh son of kunthI! Though a man is having ability to differentiate and is pursuing (self realisation), his strong senses pull his mind forcefully [towards them].<\/p>\n ‘Forsooth<\/a>, Kaunteya [1. A matronymic of Arjuna (=son of Kunti).]! The turbulent senses forcibly seduce away the mind of even the sedulous sage [2. Cf: ‘The roving eye misleads the careless heart.’ Cowper<\/em>.].’<\/span><\/p>\n Without \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>-cognition, the cravings for sensuous experiences never entirely surcease. The exertions of even the persevering sage nevertheless, the restless or powerful senses forcibly decoy the mind away. Thus the conquest of the senses is dependent on \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>-perception; and \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>-perception is dependent on sense-conquest. Hence the difficulty of pursuing the Wisdom-Course (or J\u00f1\u0101na-nish\u1e6dh\u0101<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 2 verse 61<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 2 << Chapter 2 verse 59 SlOkam \u2013 Original yathathO hyapi kaunthEya purushasya vipaSchitha: | indhriyANi pramAthIni haranthi prasabham mana: || word-by-word meaning hE kaunthEya – Oh son of kunthI! vipaSchitha: – having ability to differentiate yaththa: api – though pursuing (for self realisation) … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-2","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1419\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
