Lust:- Lust is a psychological force,producing intense wanting for an object.Lust can take any form such as  for sexuality,money,or power.Sometimes it may be for food.Lust is sinful.It is born of contact with the material mode of passion.Lust is an intense form of craving for something. In the initial stage it emerges as attraction towards something and slowly it develops as a desire or love towards it. Later it intensify as lust, a mad crush for it.In sexuality, it is sheer physical attraction.Here you are interested in having sex, but not in having conversation. Here this lust is temporary and if you come across another person as more attractive it shifts towards that person. They never share their feelings with each other and are not truthful too.In lust for money they never satisfy with the money what they earn and spend no amount for the welfare of others.They become misers.In this selfish attitude they lose their near dear relations. The lust for power makes the man more arrogant and sinful.How to win this enemy?Turn this lust to love.Share your feelings with your beloved.Ready to sacrifice anything for the sake of your dear ones.Focus your love towards GOD as that of Andal and Meerabai.As though you are pushed in a pool of water and want to come up and breath you must crave for HIS love and think about HIM day and night.In this way you can win over this enemy  and travel towards eternal bliss and not the mundane momentary pleasure.

Jealousy and Envy:-Jealousy is a killer.Because of jealous feeling relationship ends and some times it ends in killing others.If one who want to get a thing but could not get it but at the same time his opponent possess a thing that which he can not own it, he goes to the extent of killing him .  Jealousy is based on the perception that we could lose something to a rival- rough a feeling of uncertainty whereas Envy is similar to desire where somebody has something which you don't have but want to have,like money,power etc.Jealousy arise because of low esteem or high esteem.It is focused only on negative aspect.It is a agitated feeling and you become restless resulting in poor health.How to avoid this?We must redirect our thoughts towards the good thing such as being jealous towards the persons educated more than you.Here you must strive to learn more than them and overpass them by earning good names through your good behavior. The people who have brought up their children as a useful citizen with good behavior and good conduct,must not be envied but take them as an example to follow and try to bring your children also like them.

 Frugality and Miserliness:-These two qualities are opposite to each other.Frugality is a state where the spending the money for useful and necessary things and at the same time giving the money to the needy but in a measured way.This will make the beneficiary to utilize the help to improve and come up in life, where as miserliness is a condition where you are amazing wealth and neither enjoying it nor giving it to others.This sort of hoarding is  not benefiting none.It is lying waste, in later period some one will find it as treasure.So what is the use of your earning?Avoid this enemy.Be happy to enjoy your earning.By giving to others in times of need you will feel the  joy of giving. 

 Laziness:-Laziness is the one of the greatest enemy which ruins one's life silently.It is a condition in which one is not able to do a work but unwilling and psychologically unprepared.It is not tiredness or mental disorder. A rich man might have saved and left this world leaving a huge property to his children but if his children are lazy and lead a sedentary life all the wealth will dissolve in no time as the salt is dissolved in the hot water.In addition to this if they lead a luxurious life no money or property will be left and will become poor monetarily as well as health wise.We can take rest a while after a strenuous work, but sitting sedentarily is bad.Hence Laziness is not a born one but it is a quality that we develop which can be easily be conquered by our will power.

Ego:- Our soul's worst enemy is our ego.It kills our relationship.A man with ego is left alone in this world.Love always for gives whereas Ego always kills.A person with knowledge  will have less ego and he will understand his fellow beings easily and move with them cordially where as an egoist will have less knowledge and never move with the people in a friendly manner.Ego makes us think that we are every thing and refuses to accept any one superior to you.Even if they are their own children their ego will not accept or appreciate their capabilities. I and Mine reign high above all.Nothing comes with us when we leave this world.Drop the ego and see that we are loved by every one.Once there is no ego, we will automatically drop the false illusions in our mind. It is our ego ultimately stops our growth.Drop  our ego be free to walk as selfless human.

Finally if you become a successful and a peaceful man with an urge to attain your goal you must get away your inner enemies by your intelligence and knowledge. Then the path will be cleared to surge towards your ultimate goal.
