Krishna Katha - Verse for meditation - 09/06/2010 - 11/06/2010

SB 5.6.5

kamo manyur mado lobhah
soka-moha-bhayadayah
karma-bandhas ca yan-mulah
svikuryat ko nu tad budhah


kamah—lust; manyuh—anger; madah—pride; lobhah—greed; soka—lamentation; moha—illusion; bhaya—fear; adayah—all these together; karma-bandhah—bondage to fruitive activities; ca—and; yat-mulah—the origin of which; svikuryat—would accept; kah—who; nu—indeed; tat—that mind; budhah—if one is learned.

 

The mind is the root cause of lust, anger, pride, greed, lamentation, illusion and fear. Combined, these constitute bondage to fruitive activity. What learned man would put faith in the mind?

Srila Sukadeva Gosvami
