Var: (Rag)
Synon: Åçhakti
Sense: ‘Desire—attraction and attachment, with ego-involved
expectations towards persons or objects.’
Root: Raj or ranj—to be affected, moved, coloured.
Its opposite number is dwesha—dislike, repulsion and hatred.
And from these two opposing attitudes of mind, raga and dwesha,
a whole philosophy named raga-dwesha has developed. It is
maintained that the endless cycles of birth and death are kept in
motion by the effects of these two mental states. Our likes and
dislikes cause us to reap the fruits of our attractions and
aversions.
Quotes:
a) “The mind of an ordinary man runs into the grooves cut by
Raga and Dwesha. As soon as he gets up in the morning, two
currents begin to play. He takes tea, puts on a suit and hat and
begins to do the same actions over and over gain. He is a mere
toy in the hands of the two currents. But he who does selfanalysis,
introspection and meditation goes above Raga and
dwesha and attains eternal bliss and immortality.” 1
Other: a) A form of music played in certain rhythms at specific
times of day.
