Soul is a life form made of ALL the 5 elements. That's why nothing ever can stick to our Soul in its pure form. In the heart, our soul reflects Paramatma as Atma, a Spirit. Our life should be governed by that Spirit. This Atma should be connected with Paramatma eventually and that union is a Yoga. When we possess bad qualities like Ego, jealousy, anger, Laziness, Lust and greed then it affects the respective content of pure element in us and in turn our soul gets muddled with these bad qualities and now your Spirit is covered because Paramatma cannot be reflected in such soul. One may claim that his Soul is clean. Because until your Spirit is experienced, you cannot be sure if the soul is clean or not. In the clean soul, a Spirit, reflection of God, can be experienced. So no one can lie about it. When one experiences that, the joy of that experience will never fade away. Its not easy to comprehend and experience this. Those who have not done anything in the field of spirituality can make a fun of it but challenge yourself to find the answers. These things cannot be learnt from books, or in any temple or church or by any chanting. Its not a free meal. You will have to earn it. :)

While these are considered to be vices.......they are also very basic human emotions........ I mean for instance....hypothetically speaking....if you were with your gf/wife in a remote area.....and a group of lecherous men started teasing her......what would be your immediate reaction? Mine would be anger...... Also, a little envy sometimes pushes people to push themselves above and beyond what they could normally achieve.......so it is not always a bad thing..... I understand what you are saying.......the soul is the cleanest part of our being.....and it is corrupted by the seven vices......but is it really possible to live a Buddha-esque life in the modern world? Anyways.....I've got some good references from this thread.......thank you people......
