-Without exception, every thought we have is mixed with these three poisons.  Just as poison causes death when ingested, the three poisonous emotions take the life of [[Liberation]] when they are given free rein.  We may not even notice our minds are occupied by these three poisons, which produce negative [[Karma]].  As the master -- our mind with these three poisons -- commands, it's servants, our body and voice, carry out the command.  In this way, we continue roaming around in [[Samsara]], continuously turning our back on the three kayas, which is this very basis for all of Samsara and [[Nirvana]].  Instead, we create the causes for the three lower realms.
