(Bhagavatham 5.5.7 – 5.5.8)

Bhagavatham warns us here, about the possible danger hidden in a married (Grihastha’s) life.

When we take a human birth, along with the human body, we get endless miseries too. Because, the nature of senses is not to increase inner joy of the Self, but increase the miseries in the disguise of pleasures.

The one who allows it is unwise. He can not reach the inner joy and his true nature.  He desires for a domestic life where he gets attached to a woman and thus worldly pleasures. This leads to endless miseries.

What is wrong in a married life? The problem lies in the emotional attachment one develops with the spouse. The possessiveness gets extended to your partner too.

Already you are suffering from “I”ness, now you will suffer from “My”ness too. This possessiveness grows further and covers your home, property, wealth and what not?

Note –  As a seeker one has to experience true love which is divine in nature. But an ordinary person gets stuck up with distorted forms of love as possessiveness and attachment.
