Effects of attachement to Senses :
Firefly driven by the sense of sight gets drawn to light and looses its life.
Bee for want of nectar gives in to its taste buds and stays on to the flower and gets trapped when the flower gets closed at night and dies.
Elephant during mating season is so reckless that by tying female elephant the hunters catch the male elephant in the trap laid. Touch sense drives the elephant to death.
Deer is so bound by good music and is lead to the trap by the hunters by playing good music. It’s ears are its enemy. It takes it to its doom.
These animals have weakness of only one sense organ. And that sense organ has weakness for a specific taste only. For eg. Bee has weakness for taste (mouth-sense organ) and that too for nectar only. It doesn’t have weakness for biryani, chats or ice-creams either. One organ which gives in to one taste can drive that animal to its doom. No doubt even God’s can’t save the man who is driven by all the five sense organs and also five vikaaras – not to forget mind and intellect. No wonder, man creates so much of pain and suffering in his life. Just think about it………….don’t you really think we need to recheck our affiliations that we have with our sense organs and mind?………..
