Six Enemies of the mind

 

Enemies of the mind

These are the fundamental tenets of Kali Yuga . The more each individual fights them, the longer will be the life of Dharma in this yuga.

  1. Lust or desire for sensual pleasure – काम – Kama
  2. Anger – क्रोध – Krodha
  3. Greed – लोभ – Lobha
  4. Attachment – मोह – Moha
  5. Ego – मद – Mada
  6. Envy or Jealousy – मत्सर्य – Matsarya

According to Hindu scriptures, these traits bind the soul to the cycle of birth and death and keep it confined in this material world (confines of Maya or relative existence). Especially, the first three are said to pave the way towards hell. The first two bring about difficult experiences we face in our lives
