7.NO ONE, ALAS TO THE SUPREME LORD, IS EVER SEEN ATTACHED:-

Life is short, long is the pilgrimage:-

The rational intellect is so powerful a mechanism that it can rocket a man of pure heart into the highest levels of incomparable divinity in a very short time, if only he is available for it. Alas! he is not. He gets himself tied down to the passing sorcerers of the flesh in the world. Deluded by his passions, he discovers an enchantment in the gold, a value in the baser things, a sweetness in the very bitter agonies of life.

Lust and passions:-

Hoodwinked with lust, drunk with passions, the tottering fool wanders away from the main road into the thorny bushes, and there, lacerated and bleeding, soon fatigued,  he tumbles down into the bottomless pits of death. As the teacher realizes this universal folly of man, he feels a painful desperation, and the resultant song is the 7th verse in Bhajagovindam. under discussion.

Chronologically following human:-

Swami Sankaracharya says, that the childhood days of man are wasted in his attachments with the toys and games natural to that age. As he grows up,  the youthful energies are dissipated in his passion for his beloved  and in lusty sports. As age gathers upon him and forces him bend upon his staff, the grey hairs on him conceal a head heavy with anxieties and fears. All through life's pilgrimage the fool crawled upon the surface, attached to one thing or the other, never getting any chance or finding the time to attach himself to the Supreme.

Play,Passion and Pang:-

These seem to be the three common boundaries in every thoughtless man's life. No one born can struggle against the flow of time or against the law of growth.The days of ball and doll must yield their chances to the times of passion and woman, and then, at the evening of life, he arrives to live his worries and anxieties regarding himself and others depending upon him. Strange enough-never did he get any leisure to surrender to him who is the Sole Protector of all, the All-giving Guardian at all times.

The extreme sense of attachment  to the world:-

This is to be given up intelligently so that life may have a goal, a mission, or at least a purpose. This extrovertedness is natural to all living creatures. But in man this is inexcusable. The other creatures live as commissioned by their instincts. Man has the freedom to rationally judge even his own inclinations, temperaments and tendencies, and reject them when they are found to be foolish and dangerous. It is in this special aspect that man is "the roof and crown of things." If well employed, he can raise himself to the highest perfection.

To be attached to the Lord:-

For this man is to learn to withdraw from usual fields of pain-ridden sorrows- the ephemeral gains and the shocking losses. To turn to God is to attach ourselves to Him, and by this attachment any sincere seeker can bring about an efficient detachment from the ever-changing realms of objects.
