o It would discourage you to repeat the sin. This is how it takes one
towards veetragta. (catapult analogy)

o It is something which takes you close to God, and away from the
world. And clears the bad karmas away which comes in between
you and God.

you want to attain inifinite knowledge, you will always have God in
mind. When you look at god, you feel bliss, when you look at the
world you feel detachments, and fear.
o It will wipe away your worldly role models.
o When a runner starts running, he has his eyes set to the goal.

become like him.

Question: One side you say I should become Veetraagi, and other side you ask
me to have have raaga with God. Why?

veetraagta. Since God is veetraagi, therefore having raaga with God will help
you attain veetragta.
