Detailed Commentary & Meaningful Thoughts

Desire and aversion give rise to the confusion of opposites. Sarga is rendered birth here and can also carry the sense of creation; the focus is the conditioned outlook of embodied beings.

Philosophical Reflection & Self-Inquiry

"Notice how attraction and aversion can divide your view of a situation."

Inquiry Question to Ponder:

Which attraction or aversion is influencing your current view?
