Anger
will pollute the wisdom earned by man. Unbridled desire will foul all his actions. Greed will destroy his devotion and
dedication. Desire, anger and greed together
will undermine the devotion and wisdom of anyone and turn them into an
animal. The root cause of anger is
desire and desire is the consequence of ignorance. Ignorance is the characteristic of an
animal. Realizing this truth,
everyone must do well to elevate themselves through self-effort and
training.
