KAAMAH- कामः - DESIRE,LUST

 SUBHASHITHANI:293

You have the right to work, but do not become so degenerate as to look for results. Work incessantly, but see something behind the work. Even good deeds can find a man in great bondage. Therefore be not bound by good deeds or by desires for name and fame. - Swami Vivekananda

எற்றைக்கும் ஏழ் ஏழ் பிறவிக்கும் உன் தன்னோடு
உற்றோமே ஆவோம் உனக்கே நாம் ஆட்செய்வோம்
மற்றை நம் காமங்கள் மாற்றேலோர் எம்பாவாய்-Thiruppavai

In what ever births we take, we should never be separated from you, and we will serve you in all our humility; and grant us the boon that we should desire nothing else.

काममय एवायं पुरुष इति। स यथाकामो भवति तत्क्रतुर्भवति।
यत्क्रतुर्भवति तत्कर्म कुरुते। यत्कर्म कुरुते तदभिसंपद्यते॥

Kaamamaya evaayam purusha iti I Sa yathaa kaamo bhavati tat kratur bhavati
Yat kratur bhavati tat karma kurute I Yat karma kurute tadabhisampadyate II

You are what your deep, driving desire is
As your desire is, so is your will
As your will is, so is your deed
As your deed is, so is your destiny.

अर्थातुराणां न सुह्रुन्न बन्धुः   कामातुराणां न भयं न लज्जा |

विद्यातुराणां न सुखं न निद्रा  क्षुधातुराणां न वपुर्न तेजः ||

Arthaaturaanaaam na shrunna bndhuh

kaamaaturaanaam na bhayam na lajjaa
Vidyaaturaanaam na sukham na nidraa

kshudhaaturaanaam na vapurn na tejah.

Men after money will not hesitate to forsake friends and relatives, amorous persons forget fear and shame, persons who are after knowledge won’t mind losing pleasure and sleep, hungry people lose their physique and prestige.

नान्या स्पृहा रघुपते हृदयेऽस्मदीये
सत्यं वदामि च भवानखिलान्- तरात्मा ।
भक्तिं प्रयच्छ रघुपुङ्गव निर्भरां मे
कामादिदो- षरहितं कुरु मानसं च ॥ २ ॥Ram charit manas

Naanya spruha Raghupate hridayesmadeeye
Satyam vadaami cha bhavaan-akhila-antar-aatma ।
Bhaktim prayachchha Raghupungav nirbhara me
Kaama-adi-dosha-rahitam kuru maanasam cha ॥ Tulsi das

There is no craving in my heart, O lord of the Raghus; I speak the truth and you are the spirit indwelling the hearts of all. Grant me intense devotion to your feet , O crest jewel of Raghus , and free my mind from faults like concupiscence ( lust) etc.

न जातु कामः कामानामुपभोगेन शाम्यति ।
हविषा कृष्णवर्त्मैव भूय एवाभिवर्धते ॥ Manusmruti

na jātu kāmaḥ kāmānāmupabhogena śāmyati 
haviṣā kṛṣṇavartmaiva bhūya evābhivardhate 

Desire is never satisfied by the enjoyment of desires; it only increases the more, as fire when butter is poured upon it.

स्तेयं हिंसा अनृतं दम्भः कामः क्रोधः स्मयः मदः।
भेदः वैरम् अविश्वासः संस्पर्धा व्यसनानि च॥१८॥Uddhava Gita

Steyam himsaa anrutan dambhah kaamah krodhah smayah madah I
Bhedah vairam avisvaasah samspardhaa vysanaani cha II
Stealing, violence, false-hood, ostentation, lust, anger, self-boasting, arrogance, dividing people, enmity, suspicion,jealousy and adversity. ( These are the bad habits possible while one is after gaining wealth )

मृगयाक्षो दिवास्वप्नः परिवादः स्त्रियो मदः |
तौर्यत्रिकं वृथाट्य च कामजो दशको गणः || मनुस्मृति

Mrugayaaksho diva svapnah parivaadah striyo madah I
Tauryaatrikam vruthaatya cha kaamajo dasako ganah II Manusmruti

The following are the ten types of sin a person commits due to his desires - hunting, gambling, sleeping during day (laziness), flirting with women, intoxication, triple symphony of song, dance, and instrumental music and wandering aimlessly.

मनस्वी म्रियते कामं कार्पण्यं न तु गच्छति ।
अपि निर्वाणमायाति नानलो याति शीतताम् ॥ Panchatantra

manasvI mriyate kAmam kArpaNyam na tu gacChati ।
api nirvANam AyAti na analo yAti shItatAm ॥

Any person with self-respect would prefer death to humiliation (or living thus). Fire will cease to exist, but never get cold.  

காமம் வெகுளி மயக்கம் இவ்முன்றன்
நாமம் கெடக்கெடும் நோய்.-Thirukkural 360

If the very names of these three things, desire, anger, and confusion of mind, be destroyed, then will also perish the evils which flow from them.

बलं बलवतां चाहं कामरागविवर्जितम् ।
धर्माविरुद्धो भूतेषु कामोऽस्मि भरतर्षभ ॥७.११॥

balaṃ balavatāṃ cāhaṃ kāmarāgavivarjitam |
dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu kāmo'smi bharatarṣabha ||BG7.11||

O best of the Bharatas, in strong persons, I am their strength devoid of desire and passion. In all beings, I am the desire that is not opposed to dharma.

क्व धर्मः क्व च वा कामः क्व चार्थः क्व विवेकिता।

क्व द्वैतं क्व च वाऽद्वैतं स्वमहिम्नि स्थितस्य मे॥१९- २॥

There are no righteousness and duty, no objective or discretion, no duality or non-duality for me, who is established in Self.॥ Ashtavakra Gita

कामः, एषः, क्रोधः, एषः, रजोगुणसमुद्भवः,
महाशनः, महापाप्मा, विद्धि, एनम्, इह, वैरिणम्।।BG3.37।।

KaamH, eshH, krodhH, eshH, rajogunsamudbhavH,
MahashanH, mahapapma, viddhi, enam, ih, vairinm ||37||

The Supreme Lord said: It is lust alone, which is born of contact with the mode of passion, and later transformed into anger. Know this as the sinful, all-devouring enemy in the world.

ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंस: सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते |
सङ्गात्सञ्जायते काम: कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ||BG2. 62||

क्रोधाद्भवति सम्मोह: सम्मोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रम: |
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति || BG2.63||

dhyāyato viṣhayān puṁsaḥ saṅgas teṣhūpajāyate
saṅgāt sañjāyate kāmaḥ kāmāt krodho ’bhijāyate II2.62

krodhād bhavati sammohaḥ sammohāt smṛiti-vibhramaḥ
smṛiti-bhranśhād buddhi-nāśho buddhi-nāśhāt praṇaśhyati II 2.63

While contemplating on the objects of the senses, one develops attachment to them. Attachment leads to desire, and from desire arises anger.

Anger leads to clouding of judgment, which results in bewilderment of the memory. When the memory is bewildered, the intellect gets destroyed; and when the intellect is destroyed, one is ruined.

असंकल्पाज्जयेत् कामं क्रोधं कामविवर्जनात् ।
अर्थानर्थेक्षया लोभं भयं तत्त्वावमर्शनात् ॥Bhagavatham

asankalpAt jayet kAmam krodham kAma vivarjanAt ।
arthAn arthekShayA lobham bhayam tattva avamarshanAt ॥
One must get over lust by teaching oneself detachment. By giving up lust, one can give up anger. One will give up greed once he realises that wealth is the source of so many miseries. Fear can be let go by proper understanding of scriptural truth.
