Question - What are the other means of discarding attachment to pleasure (sukhaasakti)?
Answer - If there is firm faith in God and one approaches Him with heartfelt cries, the desire for pleasure can be overcome. If one decides determinedly, that, he has not to seek pleasure, then it does not take long to wipe out attachment to pleasure. In fact, happiness is not for taking, but only for giving -
On deep reflection also, the attachment to pleasure can be overcome, as worldly pleasure could never be completely enjoyed and would always remain unfulfilled, If one gets riches, it does not mean that someone else will not have more riches. If one derives great pleasure from his wife, surely there will be someone else's wife that is more accomplished, more beautiful and gives more pleasure. If we have secured something in the world, there is certainly some other better thing available. Even if we were to acquire the very best of things, their loss is sure and certain – so why should we be attached to such pleasure?
Attachment to pleasure is the root of all sins, torments, injustices, conflicts, sorrows, commotions and obstacles etc., and only after understanding and realizing this fact, the attachment to pleasure is wiped out. (to be continued)
