________________ Sixth Fundamental-Path and Means of Liberation surest way to overcome those passions is to resort to the opposite attributes. Some people may doubt whether those Kashäys can be effectively overcome by developing the above mentioned attributes. For explaining their effectiveness let us take the instance of anger, which includes the sense of jealousy, animosity, vengeance, ferocity, etc. It generally arises when we find someone not behaving properly or something not happening to our expectation. But becoming angry on that account does not serve any purpose. Instead of it if we forgive the person concerned and calmly explain how he was wrong, he may realize his mistake and may remain careful not to repeat it. When we become angry, not only may we hurt the person with whom we might be angry, but we hurt ourselves also by defiling our mind. We lose our own peace of mind and feel unhappy. If one realizes that much, it would not be hard for him to practice forgiveness. Similarly it is possible to overcome ego and arrogance by developing modesty, deception by straightforwardness, and greed by contentment.
