CONQUEST OF PASSIONS

Anger

Intense anger, which lasts forever like a deep crack on a rock, drags the soul to hell.

Blinded by Anger

A person blinded by anger does not hesitate to kill his mother, sister and even his children.

Fire of Anger

Just as a spark of fire destroys the year-long accumulated stock of grains so also the fire of anger destroys all the excellent qualities of a monk.

Decline of Character

When anger and other passions get more and more inflamed, character begins to decline lower and lower.

Destruction of Love

Anger spoils good relations.

Inflicted by Passions

Those who are short-tempered, ignorant, egoistic, harsh, hypocritical and deceitful drift in the worldly-current as a piece of log in the flow of water.

Pride

Pride, which is unbending like a pillar of stone, drags the soul to hellish existence.

Binding by Attachment

An aspirant should shed all attachments as a great snake that sheds off its skin.
