RAGA
DVESHA
n aga means attachment. Suppose
you went shopping at a clothing store and saw a T-shirt that was cute. You liked it very much and you wanted to buy it. You checked its price tag and it was high. You thought. "Well, i will wait until it goes on sale." You kept on checking every two to three days to see if it was on sale. Your going back to the store was due to your attachment to the T-shirt. Sometimes this attachment can blind us to get what we want and to do so, we may even use harmful methods. Therefore, we should avoid developing attachments for things. After all that is not the only thing in the whole world. In other words, we should learn to live a life where it is all right whether we get what we like or not.
n vesha means hatred. Every now
and then, we may come across a situation where we do not like something Most of the time we can ignore that, but sometimes it develops into hatred towards someone. If the hatred is due to the loss of something, then it can turn into anger and may cause harm to others and to us. Hatred brings enmity, instead, we should develop love and friendship for everybody. Even if someone is cruel to us, we should show compassion.
