We all are aware of the not-so-reputed sides of human nature, the three fundamentals lust (kaam), anger (krodh), and greed (lobh). We cling to them never really knowing they are the biggest enemies we ever had. By keeping these enemies in control, our existence will become pure and we will see how graciously we are achieving our dreams, without attachment to the desire of fruit.
Today I will talk about what is considered taboo and is never invited for fair discussion by our society. Lust (kaam), anger (krodh), and greed (lobh) which leads to self-destruction and hell. That makes it an even more important topic to be understood and explained.
Everyone has these desires because these are fundamental necessities for the survival of humankind. But these should not be overpowering you instead should be in your control. As we all know “excess of everything is bad “.
Every mankind has three desires, Desire of life, money, and peace, and wants to attain peace and salvation in their life but still, We desire fruit without performing the action. So tell me how we will attain the equilibrium, The real happiness in life?
Here are some logical motives to manipulate these 3 things.
”lust, anger, and greed are the 3 gates that lead to self-destruction and hell of every mankind. Therefore, all should abandon these 3 .” – Bhagavad Gita chapter 16, verse21
Bhagavad Gita reveals clearly that lust, greed, and anger are the gateways leading to hell. Only when a man has conquered these he acquires knowledge of his true soul.
History has proven that whoever allowed these three to overpower them, became the cause of their self-destruction. Like – Ravana’s lust for a woman destroyed him. So we should not allow them to overpower us.
What are lust, greed and anger?
1. Lust
Lust is the intense desire for pleasure (sexual), object, or emotional satisfaction. it isn’t always sexual, it might be lust for drugs and lots of greater terrible habits. Which actually destroys one’s life.
It later transforms into anger, if we are not able to control it. It may make our existence like a living hell If we do not know how to control these. Many humans beings lose everything, not only money but also their recognition and existence.
2. Greed
Greed is selfishly wanting something beyond what we actually need and deserve ( possession of wealth, authority, food, land, etc ). It is a desire to satisfy needs but never being satisfied.
Every additional unit not leading to satisfaction of wants, hence the person is never in the equilibrium state.
We are constantly using the wrong philosophy of ” grass is greener on the other side” and not realizing ” grass is greener where you water it “.
We are by no means glad about what we’ve and are constantly seeking out more And the rest is upgraded by our society. The reason for our sorrow is we never simply are grateful for what we have.
This greed folk is unexpectedly converting our surroundings, it is surely a door to hell.
Due to the fact we are in no way satisfied, we continually need greater to just please our ego we lose to keep track of life. People are unable to control greed and live miserable lifestyles.
3. Anger
Anger is more like the worst aspect that ever occurs to us. And strain in our life performs a completely essential function in it. It is more directly proportional to the anger, better the strain goes extra indignant you turn out to be in your real life.
Whenever we are angry we grieve our self, but also the human beings around us. While ever We are angry our minds stop working, our wisdom simply vanishes in our hate. And we become doing the most terrible things in life.
Sometimes they just stick with us for a lifestyle time. This is why we need to in no way make huge decisions in our lifestyles while we’re angry or disappointed at someone due to the fact our expertise dies when anger is born inner us.
So “by no means make a selection while you are angry or very happy, you’ll constantly become regretting it”
Important decisions of life need to be made when you are very stable and calm because at that time our thoughts function rationally and logically. And our expertise dominates while we are calm.
“Don’t give in to worry or anger; it only leads to trouble.” – Bible “
conserving directly to anger is like greedy a hot coal with the reason of throwing it at a person else; you are the only who receives burned”.
So the critical question is how we will prevent it?
