PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Since this temporary material world is full of the miseries of birth, old age, disease and death, naturally he who achieves the highest perfection and attains the supreme planet, Krsnaloka, Goloka Vrndavana, does not wish to return.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nature of the material world is destructive. According to the Bhagavad-gītā, there is some partial truth to the assumption of the physical scientist that there is annihilation of the material and antimaterial worlds when they chance to clash. The material world is a creation of changing modes of nature.

Detailed explanation-3: -Krishna Consciousness. The threefold miseries are (1) those miseries which arise from the mind and body, (2) those miseries inflicted by other living beings, and (3) those miseries arising from natural catastrophes over which one has no control.

Detailed explanation-4: -In this chapter, He explains the material world graphically-so that Arjun can understand its nature and develop detachment from it. Shree Krishna compares the material world to an upside-down aśhvatth (sacred fig) tree.

Detailed explanation-5: -The three kinds of miserable conditions-adhyātmika, adhibhautika and adhidaivika (miseries inflicted by the body and mind itself, those inflicted by other living entities, and natural disturbances)-were all absent during the reign of Lord Rāmacandra or Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira.
