He who has no understanding, who is unmindful and always impure, never<br />
reaches that place, but remains in the worldy existence alone.<br />
Now Yama is describing what happens to one who does not achieve the ideal — it is<br />
continual return to Saṁsāra — the ocean of becoming characterised by life and death.<br />
The six impurities of mind are :<br />
Kama (Desires)<br />
Krodha (Anger)<br />
Lobh (Greed)<br />
Moha (Attachment)<br />
Mada (Pride)<br />
Matsarya (Jealousy)<br />
These are controlled by the self through six determinations of the mind.<br />
Sathya (Truthfulmess), Dharma(Righteous Acts), Prema (Love), Shanti (Peace),<br />
Ahimsa (Non-violence)<br />
