Self Realization

                                               Srimad Bhagavatam

One should always follow the path of goodness and not of pleasure.

The divine self gets deluded when it begins to identify with the city of nine gates that is the body.

The true friend of the entity is Brahman.

The nine gates are two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, one mouth and the two excretory organs.

Intellect is like a wife with whose company the divine self enjoys this world.

While thus enjoying the material world the living entity forgets is true identity as the divine self and falls in to the pit of delusion.

Man is divine, blissful and ever free but due to delusion he super imposes the non self on the self.

Then being attached to the false ego he becomes attached to the world.

Once he is attached to the world his cycle of karma begins.

And as are his deeds so is his birth.
