peaceful. Despite this, majority of the people
in the world are disturbed and perturbed and
are going about their worldly affairs, worried
and tense.
Gita gives a wake-up call to the people :
'Stop for a while and think, where are you
headed for? You will not find peace there
where you are going to. Leaving aside peace,
you are joining the race for peacelessness.'
Ardent desire for various types of worldly
objects, a longing to amass a lot, too many
desires together, all this is causing turbulence
and unrest in the mind of the man. The
thinking that 'feed the mind as it wills, do not
starve it' is the source of loss of peace to the
man. What a big mistake and ignorance! The
richest man of the world has not so far been
able to satiate the mind fully. Howsoever you
may feed the mind, it is never enough. The
man collects wealth and money, so many
different things and worldly objects to satiate
