Lust is the cause of all of the enemies of the soul: anger, greed, illusion, pride, and when they combine all together they become envy. Therefore, Krsna says that lust is "mahasano mahapapma", the all-devouring, all-sinful enemy of the soul. ys pcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
