________________ Samadhi Shataka 73 Here Acharya advises the one who is fully engrossed in and entangled by worldly temptations that these are pure mise:jes, virtually dreading and threatening things which reap for us one gruin of pleasure at the cost of a huge mountain of miseries, labour, tensions and the like, and never accomplish for us any happiness or wellbeing contrariwise raising unremedible difficulties, teasing and torturing incidents which within a moment's span crushes and destroyes us. Further Acharya says that whatever is independent in the efficacy of our potentiality, requiring no labour or fatigue and accomplishing ultimate well - being giving eternal happiness very easy and obtainable we think them to be very difficult and requiring huge labour and dread of them. Acharya expresses his surprise at this. Ultimately Acharya has put forth his conclusive view that to sink into Paramatma for each and every slice of time is more accomplishing the well-being than to get soaked into passional pleasures which often take one to difficulties and ill-being.
