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)
