  Pranam Dearest Devotee. Hare Krishna.

  May you be blessed with full surrender at the Lotus

  Feet of the All-pervading Personality of Godhead,

  Lord Krishna, Who is the Absolute Truth and the

  Primeval cause of all the causes of the creation,

  sustenance and destruction of the manifested

  universes.  I offer my respectful obeisances unto

  Him. Simply by chanting His Holy Name  one

  is purified from the six enemies, lust, anger, greed,

  pride, illusion and envy. If these six enemies take

  control of the mind, a person becomes sinful. To

  desire those things that are necessary for minimal

  daily existence is not lust, but to aspire for more

  than your daily requirement is called lust. Following

  this, lust puts one into various difficulties. If one`s

  desires are not fulfilled, anger results. From anger

  comes quarrelling, harsh words, fighting, murder,

  and all sorts of sinful actions. Greed overtakes one

  by degrees, until one commits sinful activity to fulfil

  it. Pride is the tendency to think of oneself as great.

  One attains gentle behaviour when one begins to 

  think of oneself as very insignificant. If one thinks of

  oneself as a servant of Lord Krishna, pride will not

  possess one. Illusion (delusion and infatuation)

  indicates ignorance and is always bad. Not to accept

  another person`s elevated position is called envy.

  When one is overcome by any one of these six

  enemies, one is afflicted with citta-vibhrama (mental

  illusion). Citta-vibhrama then gives birth to atheism.

  With love and best wishes, take care bye.
