[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 123747, member: 35"] rajneesh ji I love the context you painted for "Mrig Trishana- Desire of Deer" as in a state of fundamental delusion. You used the idea of our being on an endless road where we are the dupes of one mirage after another. In gurbani, the desire of a deer is so described. Even the trees are part of the imagery of Guruji as the deer cannot wrest itself from the trees which carry a scent of musk. And so by only the trace sensations of the object of his carnal desire he is enslaved. Mirage after mirage. You have really used an inspiring image. There are so many tuks about deer that are "caught" by their entanglement in Maya in Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

Here is a shabad that I think fits this stretch of our conversation very well. It is from raag Aasaa, Ang 438. It makes the point very well. Little explanation is needed. ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ਛੰਤ ਘਰੁ ੩ ॥ aasaa mehalaa 1 shhanth ghar 3 || Aasaa, First Mehl, Chhant, Third House: ਓਹੁ ਜੇਵ ਸਾਇਰ ਦੇਇ ਲਹਰੀ ਬਿਜੁਲ ਜਿਵੈ ਚਮਕਏ ॥ ouhu jaev saaeir dhaee leharee bijul jivai chamakeae || It is temporary, like the waves on the sea, and the flash of lightning. ਹਰਿ ਬਾਝੁ ਰਾਖਾ ਕੋਇ ਨਾਹੀ ਸੋਇ ਤੁਝਹਿ ਬਿਸਾਰਿਆ ॥ har baajh raakhaa koe naahee soe thujhehi bisaariaa || Without the Lord, there is no other protector, but you have forgotten Him. ਤੂੰ ਸੁਣਿ ਹਰਣਾ ਕਾਲਿਆ ਕੀ ਵਾੜੀਐ ਰਾਤਾ ਰਾਮ ॥ thoon sun haranaa kaaliaa kee vaarreeai raathaa raam || Listen, O blac[COLOR=Black]k [/COLOR][COLOR=Black]deer: [/COLOR]why are you so attached to the orchard of passion? ਬਿਖੁ ਫਲੁ ਮੀਠਾ ਚਾਰਿ ਦਿਨ ਫਿਰਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਤਾਤਾ ਰਾਮ ॥ bikh fal meethaa chaar dhin fir hovai thaathaa raam || The fruit of sin is sweet for only a few days, and then it grows hot and bitter. ਫਿਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਤਾਤਾ ਖਰਾ ਮਾਤਾ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨੁ ਪਰਤਾਪਏ ॥ fir hoe thaathaa kharaa maathaa naam bin parathaapeae || That fruit which intoxicated you has now become bitter and painful, without the Naam.
