Puport
The beginning of demoniac life is described herein.
One tries to satisfy his lust, and when he cannot, anger and greed arise.
A sane man who does not want to glide down to the species of demoniac life
must try to give up these three enemies
which can kill the self to such an extent
that there will be no possibility of liberation
from this material entanglement.
