emplating on sensual pleasures.
Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir
wargat faqurġa: agfàxqmqà i सङ्गात्संजायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोभिजायते ॥ २/६२ क्रोधात् भवति सम्मोहः सम्मोहात् स्मृतिविभ्रमः । स्मृतिभ्रंशात् बुद्धिनाशः बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥ २/५३
(Dhyayatho vishayan pumsah Sanghastheshupajayathe
Sanghath sanjayathe kamah
Kamath Krodhobhijayathe Krodath bhavathi Sammohah
Sammohath Smruthivibramah Smrithibramsath buddhi nashah Buddhi nashath pranashyathi)
(If a man contemplates on sensual pleasures, he becomes deeply interested in them. That interest brings about desire; desire brings about anger. Anger brings about infatuation. Infatuation ruins intellectual powers and on account of the loss of intellectual powers man is totally ruined)
Just as cultured people do not admit strangers into their houses so also we should not admit into our minds futile or puerile thoughts. If we get rid of our fascination for materialistic things and attractions, our sorrow also disappears.
