In the Bhagavad Gita, “Mudha” (Sanskrit: मूढ) translates to foolish, deluded, ignorant, or bewildered. It is used to describe individuals who are blinded by material illusions, fail to recognize the divine truth, and remain trapped in the cycle of worldly suffering.
The Mudha , and currently the world is full of them , invest their time and energies working hard like an ass , accruing much more than they need , this gives them a life full of anxiety whilst they do so , and also later in their lives , more anxiety when they worry about their investments . Whilst accruing their wealth they become implicated in all sorts of karmic reactions , stocks , shares and investments have been built up on the exploitative entrepreneurs who cause suffering to others ,there is much violence and wars , financial and property markets are also based on greed and cheating with fixed markets favouring a few at the cost of overwhelming majority .The mudha , instead of investing his consciousness in purity and understanding Divinity , are forever absorbed in temporary illusions and mental pleasures that have underlying fears .
Bhagavad Gita tells all .
Don’t be an ass but develop permanent assets.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna clearly addresses this exact condition. He identifies people who suffer from overwork, stress, and anxiety to fulfil basic material needs as mūḍha (often translated as “fools” or “asses”). The Gita offers a direct remedy for breaking this cycle: practising Nishkama Karma (action without attachment to the results) and directed for the pleasure of Krishna , the Bhagavad Gita brings us different yoga systems so a foolishly attached worker can learn to be wise and renounced, renounced means bringing all results of work solely for the pleasure of Krishna , such actions will bring spiritual knowledge that enables the practitioner to enter the spiritual realms and the activities thereof .
Why You Feel Like a Mūḍha (The Ass Analogy)
In the Gita, Krishna likens the thoughtless or spiritually unguided worker to a donkey. A donkey carries heavy loads all day long for a meagre handful of grass, not realizing that the grass is easily available elsewhere. Similarly, human beings often exhaust their precious time, intelligence, and peace of mind labouring constantly for fleeting material rewards while ignoring their own deeper spiritual and mental well-being. Anxiety sets in because your happiness becomes entirely dependent on outcomes you can not fully control , and that will be inevitably all taken away at death . No family members can help you , your so-called family member often are happy to gain all your assets at death , and you enter into the body of a hog , dog ,camel, or yes indeed ass .
