To protect their false pride people use anger. People live enslaved
by these four kashays.
There are two kinds of anger-pride-attachment-greed :
controllable and uncontrollable. For example, if you are angry
with someone and you suppress your anger and pacify it from
within, it is a controllable anger. If you can reach such a stage,
your interactions in relative life will be wonderful.
The uncontrollable anger can never be suppressed. No
matter how hard you try you cannot prevent it from exploding.
This anger harms you and others around you.
However the tuber of deceit and greed are heavier and
stronger than those of anger and pride. You cannot get rid of
them easily. Why is greed considered the guiltiest one? Because
it robs others. If one drains out all the water from a reservoir
by opening all the water taps in his home, would others not be
deprived of water?
Deceit
The definition of deceit is : To not say things as they are.
Deceit affects all three, the mind, the body and the speech.
Women have more atoms of deceit and moha (fascination /
attachment), and men have more of anger and pride. If a man
attracts and pulls more atoms of deceit and moha, then his
coming life will result in a female body and a greater pull of
atoms of anger and pride will result in a male body.
Women use deceit because of their imaginary fear. This
creates very dense veils of ignorance. And moha increases the
veil of infatuation; moha will increase as deceit increases. Men
have more pride. Pride increases awareness.
