Lust
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: It is lust only, Arjuna,
which is born of contact with the material mode of passion and
later transformed into wrath, and which is the all-devouring sinful
enemy of this world. - BG 3:37 -
As fire is covered by smoke, as a mirror is covered by dust, or as
the embryo is covered by the womb, the living entity is similarly
covered by different degrees of this lust. - BG 3:38 -
Thus the wise living entity’s pure consciousness becomes covered
by his eternal enemy in the form of lust, which is never satisfied
and which burns like fire. - BG 3:39 -
The senses, the mind and the intelligence are the sitting places of
this lust. Through them lust covers the real knowledge of the
living entity and bewilders him. - BG 3:40 -
