Uncontrolled Senses


Just as a storm throws down a weak tree,
So does Mara overpower the man who lives for the pursuit of pleasures,
Who is uncontrolled in his senses,
Immoderate in eating,
Indolent and dissipated.

Dhammapada

Mara , literally means the destroyer, stands for mental defilements, phenomenal world, death or Lord of Evil Forces
