Krishna mentions in the Gita about the seven steps of a man's downfall from spiritual life

Thinking about sense objects

Will attach you to sense objects

Grow attached, and you become addicted;

Thwart your addiction, it turns to anger;

Be angry, and you confuse your mind;

Confuse your mind, you forget the lesson of experience;

Forget experience, you lose discrimination;

Lose discrimination, and you miss life's only purpose. (2. 62-63)
