                            THE SIX ENEMIES OF LIFE 

What the means of enemy? Enemy means someone who harms us by her deeds. So the main enemy of life is within us. It doesn't present outside of body. The person who hurt us physically or who wants to hurt us is not our real enemy. Because they only want to hurt us. The real enemy is within us who hurts us innerly. 

The six enemy of life:

                                      Kama (desire)

                                      Krodha (anger) 

                                      Lobha (greed)

                                      Mada (Sense of I or arrogance )

                                      Moha (Attachment)

                                      Matsarya (Jealousy)

 

                                        

Kama (desire):

                Desire means a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen. Then is it bad to wish something or want something?

 If no, then how it becomes the enemy of human being.

And if yes, then why?

 The Ans is yes. Desire is the enemy of us because it's a thirst which never end. Once we started to want something and after getting that our desire doesn't stop. It goes to next wish. And like this we never feel satisfied in our life. This is the reason ,Our desire is the first enemy of us. So how to let go of this enemy. How  can we win from him. The only way to win is to control our desire and live formless.

Be satisfied always and try to thankful for the thing we had before and we have now and we are going to have in future. Don't let your desire waste your inner peace.

 

Krodha (anger) :

                     The second and common enemy of all is anger. First we have to know the reason of anger. What's the reason of people getting angry and why it's enemy. Anger is something which like drinking poison by own self and wanting the death of someone else. The reason of angry is not getting what we want .It may be situation, thing or relationship. When we want something to happen and it doesn't happen then we feel anger and try to hurt someone else . But the real thing which happens is we hurt ourselves.

 

                          Then how could we stop getting angry? The way to control anger is by stopping expectation from others and for future. By repeating the thought that nothing is permanent and every situation , every people and every relationship is temporary . Nothing is going to be permanent with us. We can't predict future. The only thing we can do is to live at present without expecting anything from others.

 

 Lobha (greed):

                     Lobha is the excessive desire, especially the desire to get the the things what belongs to others. It is against the principle of Dharma. Our desires never really end. 

 

           Once we have a Lexus, we’d want an expensive Mercedes car. Once we have the latter, we’d want a private helicopter. When our first desire gets fulfilled, we develop a second desire. And then a third one. One just keeps running after desires all the time. When these uncontrolled and excessive desires are for material objects is increased they are called ‘greed’. Absence of contentment even after having gained the object of desire means the individual is greedy. Unfortunately greed in human beings is not based upon how much one has. 

          Then how can someone let go of greediness. The way is to know the difference between 'needs' and 'wants'. And practicing the contentment for everything.

Mada (Sense of I or arrogance ):

 

An ego is the biggest enemy of the ego. That’s all. Only ego thinks that ego is a problem, only ego thinks that ego is an obstacle, only ego thinks that ego is stopping it from being “what it truly is”.

 

What it truly is, is ego.

 

Only ego judges itself as not good enough, insufficient, broken. Only ego wants to get rid of, to destroy, to beat, to annihilate that which it judges as wrong.

 

Ego is the greatest enemy of an ego, and it is an eternal enemy because ego can’t ever stop being ego.

          There is a thin line between confidence and arrogance, it's humility. So to get rid of arrogance and sense of i , first we have to accept then pause and think -Does what I am going to say make me a better person? Does it hurt someone or inspire them?

 

Moha(Attachment):

 

Moha means not seeing things just as they are, but imagining them to be different from what their nature is. All of us suffer from some delusion . Sometimes we think of a person who wants to harm us as our friend. 

 

                   The cause of moha is ignorance, like or dislike. When we fail to distinguish between what is temporary and what is permanent. As a result of which we spend most of our time pursuing temporary things instead of permanent ones.

When we like something or some person dearly, we tend to magnify their virtues or imagine virtues in them that they do not possess and also dismiss or ignore their flaws.

 

For example, a boy who is infatuated with his girlfriend will ignore the fact that she is has a violent temper or he may think her to be the most beautiful woman in the world, when she is not, by the criteria of others. Conversely, if a man hates his coworker. He will start thinking that his coworker was undeserving and has no good qualities that merited him the promotion.

 

                  To overcome this we should learn to control our senses, including the mind and make a conscious attempt to have the same attitude towards the pairs of opposites like pain and pleasure; praise and criticism; friend and enemy etc.

 

Matsarya (jealousy):

                 The word Matsarya literally means the feeling of jealousy when someone else gets ahead of us. Jealousy is a state of intolerance born by seeing excellence in someone else. It is a feeling of wanting to have something that other person has. If we are honest, all of us would admit that we all have or still do experience this feeling. It usually arises out of comparing oneself to another. If one sees or perceives that the other individual has desirable qualities that one feels one lacks, the other individual is treated as superior.

                                    By jealousy, we start spending more time probing the progress of the other person, instead of focusing on our own progress. As a result, we get farther and farther behind in the race of this world. Conversely, a person who is free of jealousy towards others is always successful in life. 

 Overpowered by our jealousy, we start believing that we too can succeed and beat them only if we start using unethical and illegal means like them.

 When our driver towards success is jealousy of others, the fruit of our hard work is also tainted with the evil of jealous.

 

                                          God does not give us the fruit of our efforts fully when they are inspired by jealousy for the success of others. We actually feel elated when our children, parents and best friends do good because we consider their success as our own success. Similarly, if we were to think of everyone as a close friend in this world, then we will always treat their success and prosperity as ours and will no longer feel jealous towards them.

 

                               A feeling of unhappiness, hatred or jealousy that crop up in our mind when we see the success of others. Likewise, we should make a deliberate attempt to feel delighted and happy at the success of others.
