tat teeni ati prabal khal kam krodh aru lobh

Dear brother, three villains are extremely powerful — desire, anger and greed. In a single moment they can shake even the minds of sages who are homes of wisdom.
What it means
Even very wise people get knocked off balance by desire, anger and greed. So don't be shocked when it happens to you. Knowing these three by name is the first step to not being ruled by them.How it helps in real life
- When you are angry: You snapped at your mother over a cold dinner after a bad day. Don't spiral in guilt; name it as anger and apologise tonight.
- With money: A big Diwali sale has you adding things you don't need to the cart. Name it as greed, close the tab, and revisit in 48 hours.
हिंदी में अर्थ
हे तात, काम, क्रोध और लोभ — ये तीन दुष्ट अत्यंत प्रबल हैं। ये ज्ञान के धाम मुनियों के मन को भी पल भर में डगमगा देते हैं।
बड़े-बड़े ज्ञानी भी काम, क्रोध और लोभ से डगमगा जाते हैं। इसलिए जब हमारे साथ ऐसा हो तो घबराएँ नहीं। इन तीनों को पहचानना ही इनसे बचने की पहली सीढ़ी है।
