The six inner enemies: desire, anger, greed, attachment, pride and
envy can be uprooted only by the teachings of good men, the love of
God, knowledge of the Lord and the company of the holy ones. The
heart of the person who does not strive to cultivate his mind with
holy thoughts is certain to be paradise of evil and wickedness. This
has to be borne in mind by all those aspire for salvation and who
hope to rise to greatness.
