Whoever, forsaking God, takes Satan for a friend, has of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest. Your mind, having become diseased and bewildered because of the false sense- conceptions accumulated since beginningless time, has developed many desires, attachments and habits. These arbitrary conceptions have not developed in a normal way from your pure Mind Essence, but in an abnormal way because of the prior false conceptions that had their origin in the sense organs, like the sight of blossoms in the air that come to diseased minds. They falsely appear to have had their origin in the enlightening and Essential Mind but, in truth, they have arisen because of diseased conditions. Judaism and Christianity.
All vices are like chains thrown around the neck.
Bible, John 8.34 Through wrong belief, indulgence, negligence, passions and activities the individual self attracts particles of matter which are fit to turn into karma, as the self is actuated by passions. This influx of karma results in bondage. Gauri Ashtpadi, M.1, p. 531. Pancadhyayi 2.57, p. 387. Men by lust are bound, By jealousy, asuras, And the devas in heaven by pride.
