In biology, poisons are substances that cause disturbances in organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when an organism absorbs a sufficient quantity, many times it may cause death of person.
scriptures explains that there is thing which is more poisonous than poison and that is sense object. In Sanskrit poison is called as 'Visha', and sense objects are called as ' Vishay'. Swallowing of the poison will kill our present body but contemplation on sense objects(vishayas) will kill our soul life after life.
As Gita explains when mind contemplates on sense objects it's attraction to it increases and desire to enjoy those things gets invoked within heart. Desire to enjoy sense Objects is never satiated in fact it increases like fire. When desire to enjoy remains unfulfilled it causes anger which in turn cause delusion and ultimately fall down from spiritual plane. So one need to understand that contemplation is serious disease.
Poison affects the body whereas sense objects affects the consciousness. Impression of interaction between senses and sense object is very strong on mind and that is fuel for further sense gratification, which continues the cycle just like Ferris wheel. It's said that contemplation on sense objects is more worser than actual enjoyment, because in actual sense gratification one knows his limits of enjoyment and soon one gets frustrated but in contemplation one thinks about rosy and cozy imaginary pleasures which pollutes the mind. Vishayas kills the soul, means it destroys the tendency of soul to serve the supreme lord rather it starts thinking that I am the enjoyer and enjoyment of senses is prime goal of life. In conclusion enjoyment of sense objects on mental platform is dangerous and one should deal with this seriously by taking shelter of holyname and contemplating on real things like pastimes of lord and his devotees then there will be some hope by which one can be delivered from this poison.
