We the "Human Beings", social animals....slaves to desires!!!
We struggle for livelyhood , we work hard to satisfy our desires and wants. we fight with fellow beings, we give pain to fellow living beings. Its all for satisfying our sensory desires.
When we desire for an object sprouts in the mind, it craves for it and the sensory experience that will result by experiencing it. If the person is unable to obtain of his desire then he becomes angry, and when he succeeds in getting it he is intent on protecting it resulting in greed for material possesions and their upkeep.
Thus these three - desire, anger and greed are the cause of an individual's downfall as the mind's swayed by one or the other.
We always ignore ourself towards attaining greater value for the soul and always strive for sesory satisfactions.
The sense organs by nature are outward bound and the self can be realised only by withdrawal of the senses from engagement with the objects. By turning the mind inward with the aid of spiritual practices, the mind will attain one-pointed concentration and grasp the blissful, eternal self within.
