The world is full of trouble and turmoils and the jiva that runs after worldly pleasures get into trouble and turmoils. Most of the time the jiva is not aware of the nature of the world as a result of which it suffers!It is also true that some jivas get into trpuble knowing full well the true nature of this transient world! This running after worldly attainments knowing fully well that they are transitory, not fulfilling and seducing to eternal bondage is attributed to avidya, knowledge covered by desire and attachment. There a number of great teachers, learned persons, Acharyas who have explained the true nature of this world.
The world is made of components (bhuti) that are varying and subject to eternal changes as long as they exist. Air moves, fire burns, water flows and even the earth shakes, vibrates, sometimes terribly! All the objects that are found in this ever-changing world are also transient, ever-changing. Nothing is permanent here. The jiva that eagerly runs after these ever-changing objects is by itself transitory and it does not take cognizance of it and this is avidya! Sage Vashishtha taught this jnyaanayoga to Sri Ramachandra and it is surprising that Ram ran after the Golden Deer! If this is the fate of Sri Ram, what can an ordinary jiva do when avidya covers its intelligence?
The factors that decide the path of journey of jive on this earth is already shown in the road map! The road map is Sri -Chakra. Every jiva should know this and follow the advice of his teacher who can guide him/her through life. In the absence of a good reliable teacher, the jiva goes astray. Only a tru guru can lead the jiva through the troubles and turmoils of this turbulent world. We see unrest, war-torn lands like Mosul in Iraq and the exodus of refugees! Is there any answer? Are we living in a civilized world where people are afraid of touching arms and ammunition for fear of God? Will there be ever a peaceful coexistence of people in countries of Asia and Europe?Why not?
All the problems of the world are dur to desire and fear, desire to acquire more power and fear of losing what one has!
