Sage of Kanchi –

Pranams at the lotus feet of Sri Paramacharya !

Sri Paramacharya narrates  excessive desire/Kama is our enemy, failure to achieve the desired thing results in anger/ Krodha, hence  an unsatisfied desire arouse anger, eventually anger kills a person, it creates enmity,    in this way, desire turns out anger. Parmacharya continues, an unconventional truth is that desires never ends, it never gets satisfied, unlike food remove the hunger of living beings,  therefore desire is like a colossal fire which keeps burning while pouring any ingredient on it works as fuel, a fire never gets satisfied, the fire has another name ‘Krishnavarthma’, it has the nature of leaving a black stain.   Initially, desires bring happiness, after sometime when we fail to meet our desire, it creates extreme distress.  Kali era has two warriors Kama/desire and Krodha/anger, desire has great power to influence every single individual except Sage Durvassa, anger is one step ahead of desire, it resides in the heart of Sage Durvassa.  All our sinful deeds are caused by the influence of desire and anger which has never ending nature and causes severe sins; these are the produce of Rajasik nature.  Hence desire and anger are the two powerful enemies of a man.   We are constantly engaged in committing sins by Thrikarana/word, deed, and intellect, people who commit sins with words would be born as cattle, words should be used for praising the glories of Lord, not for bringing conflicts, spreading rumors or hurting people,   in this way we can stay away from sin, it purifies the intellect and multiplies piousness.  We have to practice performing righteous deeds and meditation, it will remove the impurities of the mind, and it changes the overall perception of an individual.  Our heart should be the abode of the supreme Lord, therefore it should be pure and free from all the dirt.    All that money earned is not ours, we have to keep a certain portion for charity purposes, these selfless acts will follow the individual even after his death.  Therefore children of all age groups, youngsters and elderly people should put into practice the habit of charity.
