Person with perverted, polluted intelligence. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

The student has to transform himself into a Sumati (person with good intelligence). He should avoid hiring into a Durmati (Person with perverted, polluted intelligence). A huge heap of fuel can be reduced to ashes by a tiny spark of fire. A drop of poison can render a pot of milk totally undrinkable. Envy and hatred are sparks that destroy the cluster of virtues in man.

Students must exercise constant watchfulness over their feelings and reactions. They must keep out selfishness, envy, anger, greed and other such tendencies from emanating their minds. These are nets which entrap the person. The vices overwhelm and subdue the holiness of man, so that it cannot influence him any longer. The person will forget himself and behave like another worse individual, an individual caught in frenzy. He will blabber as his tongue dictates, without regard to the effect - good or evil. He will engage his hands in work that the hand favours.(V Vahini, p. 80)
