REMOVABLE HABITS, CHARACTER AND BEHAVOUR
• Gambling is another dreadful curse. It is a great friend of Satan or anti-God. It is Maya's great weapon.
• It has broken the hearts of many. It tantalises, tempts and deludes.
• A little gain in the first betting itches the nerves of the gamblers and forces them to bet a large sum. Eventually they lose everything and return home with black or weeping faces.
• Man becomes bankrupt by gambling. He weeps bitterly. Yet he will not leave it.
Prepared by Vivekananda Saraswati 21
REMOVABLE HABITS, CHARACTER AND BEHAVOUR • Maya havocs through wrong habits, wrong thinking, wrong Samskaras and
through bad company, gambling, cinema, drinking, smoking and meat-eating.
• The intellect becomes clouded and blunt. Reason and discrimination fail. The intellect becomes perverted. No virtue will dwell in the heart of a man who gambles.
• Gambling is a net spread by Maya to entrap the bewildered souls. There is no evil greater than gambling. All vices cling to a gambler.
• No real gain will come to a gambler. He is always drowned in sorrow. He drags a cheerless life from day to day. Card-play and horse-racing are modifications of gambling only.
