A human being finds that objects like clothes, ornaments, women, food, etc., which are helpful for their primary purpose, become obstacles and undesirable when they become useless. The object that was previously disliked becomes desirable when it is needed. Therefore, the concept of liking and disliking depends on the purpose and its absence. In reality, no object is truly desirable or undesirable. It is only through the imagination of the mind that a human being considers an object desirable or undesirable. A wise seeker should abandon this imagination and accept equality. ||3||
What is a subject for one person, due to their own opinion, is considered nourishing (pleasing), the same subject becomes hateful (unpleasant) for another person due to their different opinion. ||4||
Therefore, these two, desirable and undesirable, are both imagined by the mind, they are not true in reality. Just like duality, this duality is also a product of imagination. ||5||
_ Meaning: Therefore, desirable and undesirable, both are imagined by the mind, they are not true in reality. _
