Conquest of Passions
115
2. Pride which is unbending like a pillar of stone drags the soul to hellish existence.
- Sthā. Sū. 4.2
3. A person who is not proud is dear to all. Such a person
alone acquires knowledge, fame and fortune and meets with success at every step.
- Bha. Ārā. 1379
Sixteen Delusion
1. Shed all attachments as a great snake that sheds off its skin.
- Utta. Sū. 19.86
2. The tree whose roots are arid will never flower, however
much it is watered; so also if delusion is conquered, the fruit of karmas will never surface.
- Daśāśru. Sū. 5. 14
3. A little water will suffice to extinguish physical fire
but the waters of all the oceans will not be enough to extinguish the fire of desires and delusion.
— Rși. 3.10
