Lust, anger etc., the five vices are shadows of maya (mammon). These have created turbulence in human beings like demons. Many oceans of vices and evils are in rage in me mind of a human being as a result of these.
Human life is very brief but his expectations and desires are of eons. There are waves of vices in the ocean-like mind whose cravings are unimaginable.
Under the influence of all these cravings and desires, the mind roams about in all four directions and reaches regions beyond in split second time.
Despite its engrossment in worries, physical ailments and many types of other maladies, it cannot be stopped from wandering. The refuge of the True Guru is the only means of controlling it. (233)
