कहता हूँ कहि जात हूँ, मानै नही गँवार I बैरागी गिरही कहा, कामी वार न पार II
The ghost of lust lurks in the hole of one's mind and deludes the mind in hundred ways. Lust of a person who has no self control can never be fulfilled. An uncontrolled lust is an enemy of man with downfall inevitable. A foolish man with his vision blinded is tempted by lust, who considers opposite sex as objects of enjoyment is destroyed like the moth. It is lust only, which is born of contact with the material mode of passion and later transformed into wrath, and which is all devouring sinful enemy of this world. Lust forces a person to do things even if he does not want to do it. No matter how best one may try, lust is never satisfied and burns like fire. The urge to enjoy the senses runs very deep and is very difficult to suppress. We all know the fall down of a great and powerful sage Vishwamitra which was due to the lustful desire that arose in him when he saw the beautiful Menaka. Even though he was capable of tolerating the bodily discomforts in the extreme austerities he was performing, still the lust overwhelmed him.
"Kabir says, the senses are so strong and impetuous, that they forcibly carry away the mind of not only an ordinary person but even a man of discrimination like a great sage Vishwamitra who is endeavoring to control them."
