FAITH KNOWLEDGE AND CONDUCT
who entertains no such desire will remain unaffected by its presence.
Desire is nothing apart from the soul. The soul moved by the longing to possess an object of desire, that is to say, the soul agitated by the craving, is itself the actual form of desire. The same is the case with passions. Anger, pride, deceit and greed are nothing apart from the soul. They are only different forms of the agitated state of the soul.
