Truly, the greatest barriers to our progress lie not in the
world outside but in our own minds. The scriptures speak of eight such bondages
or anchors that bear us down.
Om Nikhileshwar Mahadev Temple At Kudacha Village, Silvassa, Dadra & Nagar Haveli |
They are:
Hatred,
Fear,
Shame,
Aversion,
Egoism,
Vanity,
Pride of noble descent, and
obsession with formal good conduct.
Any one of them can hinder our progress.
