The Pleasure Trap
Yoga and Total Health
|July 2022
The middle path is indeed golden and discipline will help us walk it
The tendency to seek and grab pleasure is the greed in every human. From wherever we get pleasure, we like to keep it and replicate it. There are various areas in which a person can get pleasure. Some get it from eating food, some from engaging in sex, some get pleasure from even talking about good things. People get stuck because pleasure overpowers our personalities and we become completely helpless under its influence. When we like something, then all logic, reasoning, right and wrong, disappear.

भगवद्गीता से सीख: असली जीवन ही श्रेष्ठ है।
हमारी देश की संस्कृति में अनेक गुणों का, जीवन मूल्यों का वर्णन किया गया है जिनसे हम एक अच्छा, सच्चा और कुशल जीवन व्यतीत कर सकते हैं। इनका पालन करने के अनेक मार्ग भी हमारे सामने रखे गए हैं। और कई लोग ऐसे होते भी हैं जो पूरे मन से इन मूल्यों को मानते हैं। लेकिन कुछ लोग ऐसे भी होते हैं जो इन मूल्यों को दिल से मानने की जगह बस मानने का दिखावा कर रहे होते हैं। आइए देखते हैं कि ऐसे दिखावटी व्यवहार के बारे में श्रीकृष्ण क्या कहते हैं।
