From the Bible:
Chapter 4 of the Gospel of St. Matthew:
Then [after baptism] was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
From the Bhagavad Gita, in the third Chapter:
“Yet tell me, Teacher! [said Arjuna] by what force doth man
Go to his ill, unwilling; as if one
Pushed him in that path?”
[Krishna replied:]
“Desire it is!
Passion it is! born of the Darknesses,
Which pusheth him. Mighty of appetite,
Sinful, and strong is this! – man’s enemy!”
