| How to not fall prey to vagaries of the mind? |
| The Creator has endowed man with numerous marvelous qualities. Besides the six virtues mentioned earlier man also got vices. The opposites of the six virtues are Kama (Desire), Krodha (Anger), Lobha (Greed), Moha (fascination), Madha (Pride) and Mathsarya (Envy). These are known as the six enemies of man. They are part of creation. The mind is the master of these vices. Man tries to train the mind to overcome these vices. But this is not easy for all. The reason is that, being unaware of how to control the mind, man becomes an easy prey to its vagaries. Everyone should strive to find out how to use the mind in any situation, at any time and in any circumstance. Divine Discourse 25 Dec 1997 |
