otpancli tduslit' or Doot'- Five Detractors
Then there are five such detractors those often obstruct or come in
the way ofa right thinking person. Ifthey over power the goodness of
a person he or she shall deviate from the path of truth and may be
mislead into turning out to be a devil from his angel like position.
These detractors are
1. Sexual urge or Kaam Vaashna
2. Anger or Karodh
3. Greed or Lobh
4. Attachment or Moh
5. Ego or Ahankaar
It may also be mentioned that whereas all these five are quite
essential for running a good, balanced and healthy life and a total
absence ofanyone shall render a man totally unfit for the society, yet
excess of either anyone or all of them shall make one unworthy of
being called even a human being. When they try to over power the
working of a person, one loses one's mental balance, one's sense
organs cease working in a normal way, one is not able to differentiate
between good or bad, right or wrong, desirability or otherwise ofthe
means etc. One is just interested in the results those one wants to
achieve by adopting any method or tactics.
