The Six Impurities of the Mind: A Path to Self-Awareness and Transformation

The six impurities of the mind—ego, greed, attachment, lust, jealousy, and anger—are seen as obstacles on the path to inner peace and spiritual growth. Each represents a facet of human nature that, when left unchecked, clouds judgment, distorts perception, and hinders one’s ability to live authentically and harmoniously. By understanding and addressing these impurities, we can cultivate a clearer mind, a purer heart, and a more balanced life.

Attachment

Attachment is the emotional clinging to people, objects, or ideas out of fear of loss. It often creates dependency and suffering when change or impermanence challenges our expectations. While love and connection are vital, attachment distorts relationships and inhibits the freedom to grow and evolve.
