DHRITA-RASHTRA, THE BLIND KINGA symbol of the instinct nature, sub-conscious and devoid of intelligence. "Dhrita-rashtra (a firstborn son) was blind, but, although thus incapacitated for governing, he retained the throne, while his son Duryodhana really directed the affairs of the state." - J. C. THOMSON, The Bhagavad Gita. The lower instinct nature of the soul is the first to appear in the evolution of the qualities of the human being; but as it is devoid of mind, it is incapable of organizing and directing the qualities. It retains the lead, being potent and funda. mental; but that which has arisen from it, namely, the desire-nature which allies itself with mind, becomes the ruler and regulator of the whole of the lower nature. |
