When the heart of man expands through spiritual culture, when he gets knowledge of the Self, then these petty thoughts perish. Mark how man is in a degraded and deplorable state on account of the influence of desires! He clings to them like a leech and thinks that he is always on the right path on account of delusion created by the desires.
