Friends: The Seven Latent Tendencies (Anusaya): 
1: The Latent Tendency to Sense-Desire. 2: The Latent Tendency to Aversion and Anger. 3: The Latent Tendency to Skeptical Doubt. 4: The Latent Tendency to Speculative Views. 5: The Latent Tendency to the Conceit: "I am". 6: The Latent Tendency to Craving for Becoming. 7: The Latent Tendency to Blind Ignorance. These are inherently deeply imbedded, hidden in the core of the mind, where these subtle tendencies ever again exert their harmful influence over our thoughts, speech & behaviour. Biased by such corrupt inclinations, any intention to act will produce detrimental and painful future results... The only tool capable of overcoming and extracting them is this quite Noble Eightfold Way: The Ariya Magga: 1. Right View (sammā-ditthi) 2. Right Motivation (sammā-sankappa) 3. Right Speech (sammā-vācā) 4. Right Action (sammā-kammanta) 5. Right Livelihood (sammā-ājīva) 6. Right Effort (sammā-vāyāma) 7. Right Awareness (sammā-sati) 8. Right Concentration (sammā-samādhi)  The Latent Tendencies are the Hidden Driver of Mind!
