    Chapter 5.3 – Bhavābhinandī Jīva (A Rejoicer of worldly existence) [15 of 26]

     

    Behavioural traits of an enjoyer of worldly existence [2 of 10]

    The rejoicer of worldly existence has adverse perception of objects. Due to adverseness in perception, he favours transmigration which is useless from real stand point. He is incapable of viewing an object from manifold perspectives. He is short-sighted and concerned only with the present time. Hence, he fails to see what is beneficial to the soul in long run. He cannot discriminate between that which is beneficial and harmful.[1]
