Conquest of Passions
123
2. A person with wrong faith and under the influence of
strong passions considers the body and the soul to be one. Such a soul is Bahirātmā, i.e., a worldly soul.
- Kārti. 193
3. A person who is inimical is friend of none and therefore
invites enmity. This endless chain brings in its wake ceaseless misery.
- Sū. Kr. Sü. 1.8.7
4. Pride, which is unbending like a pillar of stone prevents a person from being humble and drags the soul to the hell.
-- Sthā. Sū. 4.2
5. Anger, prejudice, ungratefulness and wrong faith are the
four blemishes that destroy all the virtues present in a person.
— Sthā. Sū. 4.4
6. Deception, fraud, telling lie and malpractice in trade are
the four animal instincts which drag the soul to sub-human existence.
- Sthā. Sū. 4.4
