If your faculty of perception is faulty, you’ll make poor choices, you’ll do the wrong things and thus you’re bound to suffer.
The path of yoga as described in the Bhagavad-gita famously describes how we can correct this distortion of reality, understand things correctly and consequently live a much happier life, both now and in the future.
In this verse of Chapter 3, we’ll see Krishna describe 3 levels of distortion we are subject to, and their causes.
dhūmenāvriyate vahnir
yathādarśo malena ca
yatholbenāvṛto garbhas
tathā tenedam āvṛtam
“Just as a fire is covered by smoke, a mirror is covered by dust, or an embryo is covered by the womb, so varying degrees of material energy constantly distort the discerning faculty of human perception.”
Bhagavad-gita 3.38
