“Weakness for wealth and for collecting and owning things of different kinds; the urge for physical (sensuous) enjoyment; the longing for honour, which is the root of envy; the desire to conquer and be the deciding factor; pride in the glory of power; the urge to adorn oneself and to be liked; the craving for praise; concern and anxiety for physical well-being. All these are of the world; they combine deceitfully to hold us in heavy bonds.” WorldWellsKindDifferentDesireWealthPrideAnxietyGloryWeaknessConcernRootsPraiseLongingOneselfHeavyEnvyFactorsConquerWell BeingEnjoymentUrgesHonourDifferent KindsCravingCollectingAsceticismSensuous Book:Way of the Ascetics: The Ancient Tradition of Discipline and Inner Growth Source: Way of the Ascetics: The Ancient Tradition of Discipline and Inner Growth
