THE :
What is the cause for man’s sorrow, delight and infatuation? The cause can be traced to the different ‘’ (sorrows) which afflict man from time to time. The first sorrow which afflicts man is ‘’ (the sorrow caused by ignorance). Deluded by the feeling that he is the body and that God is elsewhere and much different from him, man makes a misery of his life. The ignorant belief that God and man are poles apart, creates a distance between him and God and causes anguish in him. Though man knows for certain that the mind is the cause for his bondage, he does not strive to restrain the mind and suffers as a consequence. Though he is well aware that the mind is the source of agony, anguish, attachment and host of other worries, he makes no effort to quell the mind.
