Man is too weak to keep his nature under control
Disputative Vedhic scholars crave for the fruits of their endeavour and efforts, through ritual. Nature does not crave so; the clouds bring rain, as a homage to God who is their Lord. But, they attribute it to the efficacy of their rites and use it to inflate their ego. They play about, among the far-spreading branches of the tree of desire. They are entangled in the coils of the three 'ropes' - the thamasik, the rajasik and the sathwik (the ignorant, the egoistical and the good). You have to go beyond the three ropes, the three bonds. You have to be, ever, in the unchanging eternal Truth. You must be established in the One, as the One, with no trace or taste of two. Earning and garnering should not interest you; you must not be caught in the pursuit of (Divine communion) and (well being); for, you are FULL already and have no wants. The ideal of a high standard of life, instead of a high level of living, has played havoc with human society. A high level of living insists on morality, humility, detachment, compassion; so the competitive greed for luxury and conspicuous consumption receives no encouragement and will be destroyed. Now, man is the slave of his desires; he finds himself helpless to conquer the thirst for pleasure and luxury; he is too weak to keep his nature under control; he does not know how to arouse the Divine Consciousness that is latent in him.
