Today, man has lost the sense of discrimination. He does not know how to respect and behave among elders. The six evil traits of man, viz., desire, anger, greed, infatuation, pride, and jealousy, arise due to the defects in his food and habits. Food and habits are responsible for qualities in man, good or bad. The sacred qualities that originate from the heart are true and eternal.
Worldly tendencies originate for the head and are bound to change.
Only the inward tendencies that originate from the heart are true and eternal. Ignoring the inward tendencies, man takes to the outward path. Consequently, he is unable to attain permanent happiness. He treads the path of pravritti but expects the results corresponding to nivritti . All that he sees, says, and does have become polluted with untruth and unrighteousness.
