Illusion haunts people as desire (trishna or kama). Prompted by desire, you run after sweet sounds that satisfy the ear, and smooth and soft things that yield pleasure to your skin! You pursue the forms of beauty that appeal to the eye to satisfy the fire in you, crave for food and drink that are tasty to appease the water element in you, and enjoy the perfume and pleasant smells to please the inner urge of the Earth element! The malignant designs of desire rob you of lasting happiness. The insufferable heat of the Sun is controlled and reduced by your body to maintain a congenial temperature of 98.4 degrees. So also, you must keep the destructive forces of your elemental passions born out of the clamour of sound, touch, form, taste, and smell (shabda, sparsha, rupa, rasa, gandha) rigorously in check and bring it down to tolerable levels. Then you can lead a healthy and happy life
