The Forest of Enjoyment
29
hitvātma-pātaṁ gṛham andha-kūpaṁ vanaṁ gato yad dharim āśrayeta
The so-called comfortable family position is compared to a dark well in a field. If one falls in a dark well covered by grass, his life is lost. despite his cry for rescue. Highly advanced spiritualists therefore recommend that one should not enter the  gṛhastha-āśrama . It is better to prepare oneself in the  brahmacarya-āśrama  for austerities and remain a pure  brahmacārī  throughout one's life so that one will not feel the piercing thorns of material life in the  gṛhastha-āśrama . In the  gṛhastha-āśrama  one has to accept invitations from friends and relatives and perform ritualistic ceremonies. By so doing, one becomes captivated by such things, although he may not have sufficient resources to continue them. To maintain the  gṛhastha  life-style, one has to work very hard to acquire money. Thus one is implicated in material life, and he suffers the thorn pricks.

कचिच्च दुःसहेन कायाभ्यन्तरवह्निना गृहीतसारः स्वकुटुम्बाय क्रुध्यति ॥१९॥
kvacic ca duḥsahena kāyābhyantara-vahninā gṛhīta-sāraḥ sva- kuṭumbāya krudhyati.

TRANSLATION
Sometimes, due to bodily hunger and thirst, the conditioned soul becomes so disturbed that he loses his patience and becomes angry with his own beloved sons, daughters and wife. Thus, being unkind to them, he suffers all the more.
