A man lives in animosity or in grudge during his lifetime. His grudge is with the people, the country and with himself. There are things about society, people and other’s which he does not like. Animosity has no point. It is in a battlefield where it is hard to come out of. The five senses are the five Pandavas and the hundred vikaras are the hundred Kauravas. The blind heart is Dhritrashtra and the highest mind is the Krishna. If he is the charioteer then the path will be easy, otherwise not. Most of the time people waste all their life by taking these vows to prove themselves to others, to show that they can make other people feel lowly. These vows are hollow, and there is nothing in these vows.
A human being ties himself to his desires, pledges, emotions and expectations, from which he cannot free himself. In the end it does not matter what you have or what you have been holding on to because when there is a knock on the door from death, it is time to go.
