SPIRITUAL CONSULTATIONS – 5 APRIL 2014 SATURDAY [SASTI FOR SARAJEVO] [3]



TRANSCENDENTAL VEDIC PSYCHOLOGY    

UM UVIJEK PRATI ŠEST NEPRIJATELJA - KĀMA, KRODHA, MADA, MOHA, MĀTSARYA I BHAYA - POŽUDA, GNJEV, OPIJENOST, ILUZIJA, ZAVIST I STRAH.

NIKADA NE BISMO TREBALI MISLITI DA JE NAŠ UM ISTRENIRAN I DA MOŽEMO RADITI SVE ŠTO HOĆEMO.

Even though a woman be made of wood or stone, she becomes attractive when decorated. One becomes sexually agitated even by touching the form. Therefore one should not trust his mind, which is so fickle that it can give way to enemies at any moment. The mind is always accompanied by six enemies — namely, kāma, krodha, mada, moha, mātsarya and bhaya — that is, lust, anger, intoxication, illusion, envy and fear. Although the mind may be merged in spiritual consciousness, one should always be very careful in dealing with it, just as one is careful in dealing with a snake. One should never think that his mind is trained and that he can do whatever he likes. One interested in spiritual life should always engage his mind in the service of the Lord so that the enemies of the mind, who always accompany the mind, will be subdued. If the mind is not engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness at every moment, there is a chance that it will give way to its enemies. In this way we become victims of the mind.

Iako žena može biti napravljena od drveta ili kamena, postaje privlačna kada se ukrasi. Čovjek postaje seksualno uzbuđen čak i ako dodirne oblik [i obratno]. Zato ne bismo smjeli vjerovati svom umu, koji je tako prevrtljiv da se može predati neprijateljima u svakom trenutku. Um uvijek prati šest neprijatelja - kāma, krodha, mada, moha, mātsarya i bhaya - požuda, gnjev, opijenost, iluzija, zavist i strah. Mada um može biti uronjen u duhovnu svjesnost, trebamo s njim uvek pažljivo postupati, kao što pažljivo postupamo sa zmijom. Nikada ne bismo trebali misliti da je naš um istreniran i da možemo raditi sve što hoćemo. Onaj koga zanima duhovni život uvijek treba zaokupljati svoj um služenjem Gospodina, tako da neprijatelji uma, koji ga stalno prate, mogu biti savladani. Ako um nije u svakom trenutku zaokupljen svjesnošću Kṛṣṇe, postoji mogućnost da se prepusti neprijateljima. Na taj način postajemo žrtve uma.
