words it can be described as passions i.e. Raag i and aversions i.e. Dvesham. In four words as anger, pride, deceitfulness and greed. And all the 25 Kashayas are described as follows:

Then laughter, affection, dislike, sorrow, fear, disgust, the male sex passion, the female sex passion. and neuter sex passion are further nine Kashayas or Nokashayas ( There ). Now we will see the nature of these Kashayas.
When Jeev has anger he wishes to harm others and for that he reacts by abusing, shouting at others, hitting others. etc. When he has pride, then he has the urge to look down upon others and try to prove himself as great, tries various methods to show his uprightness. When he has deceitfulness then he wishes to get things done by deceiving others or by falsifying the facts. When he has greed then he tries many methods to acquire things he has lust for or has liking for. All these things are described in details in the third chapter titled, 'Charitramoha se Dukh ' चारित्रमोहसे दुःख. in the book ' Moksha Marga Prakashak' मोक्षमार्ग प्रकाशक.
Alongwith these Kashayas other nine Nokashayas also emerge. In laughter passion he gets happiness due to false notion of pleasure in some things and keeps on laughing. In the passion of affection he gets attracted towards things he likes. In dislike passion he gets perturbed by things or happenings, which are unpleasant or unwanted.
In sorrow passion due to loss of precious possessions and beloved ones and in incident unpleasant to him, he gets restless, shouts at others angrily, cries and is very miserable. In fear passion, he is fearful about the things or incidents which are causes of loosing things dear to him or having unpleasant circumstances, And he is scared of them and runs away from or hides himself from them. In disgust passion he despises unpleasant or unwarranted things and incidents.
Due to all the three kinds of sex passions, sexual lust arises and has the urge to have sexual intercourse.
All the Kashayas are unpleasant and are misery, because they create anxiety. And they are the cause of oncoming future misery as well.
