At some point every spiritual seeker wonders what makes us do things we know are not good for us, even when we sincerely want to do otherwise. What compels us to sin as if by the force of nature even when we realize that doing the right thing would yield a far better result? It is our restless nature that leads to our desires and that unrelenting unappeasable craving for something new, different, more or better as well as our anger which is the product of our unfulfilled desires. That is the enemy. So, the first step is to recognize desire as the sinful one, not you. Control the thoughts of your restless mind and your attachment to having your senses satisfied and you will destroy those desires and realize your true inner soul-self as being the real “you.”
