On this #NarasimhaJayanthi let us remember how Sri Shankaracharya has described the condition of our life :
अन्धस्य मे हृतविवेकमहाधनस्य
चोरैर्महाबलिभिरिन्द्रियनामधेयैः ।
मोहान्धकारकुहरे विनिपातितस्य
लक्ष्मीनृसिंह मम देहि करावलम्बम् ॥
(From Lakshminarasimha Karaavalambana Stotram)

Our wisdom has been lost due to anger, lust, etc. Just like robbers trying to commit a robbery by pushing the master of the house into a pit, our sense organs are pushing us into a pit of attachment towards mundane objects, robbing us of our wisdom and therefore bringing us to a horrid state of existence. Sri #Shankara therefore pleads to Narasimha: “O Lord! Only you can save me from this horrible condition & protect me.”
