## Eleventh Chapter
**247**
A wandering ascetic is born, what is the difference between him and a householder? He has merely changed his attire, but his conduct is contrary to his vows. (125)
Just as humans do not eat vomited food, so too, the wise do not desire what they have renounced. (126)
A renunciate who, after renouncing women, indulges in them again, is a sinner and will become a wolf in a terrible forest after death. (127)
One who, while engaged in all kinds of activities, indulges in unrighteous conduct and is intoxicated with pride, and yet considers himself initiated, is utterly deluded. (128)
What kind of renunciation is that of one who is consumed by jealousy and lust, whose vision is evil, whose soul is corrupt, and who is engaged in all kinds of activities? Tell me. (129)
One who is proud with an evil eye, a renunciate who is addicted to sensual pleasures, and who claims to be an ascetic, is a liar. How can he be a renunciate? (130)
One who enjoys comfortable seating and movement, and whose mind is always attached to food and clothing, and yet considers himself a Siddha, is a fool who deceives himself. (131)
Just as one who escapes from a burning house, but then throws himself back into it, is considered foolish. (132)
Or, just as a bird, having escaped from a cage through a hole, returns to it again due to ignorance, is foolish. (133)
Similarly, one who, after becoming a renunciate, falls under the sway of the senses, is condemned in the world and does not attain his own good. (134)
Only a Muni, whose mind is one-pointed and free from all attachments, can meditate on the true essence. Not those who are beginners like you. (135)
From the association of attachments, arise the passions of attachment and aversion in a being. From attachment arises lust, and from aversion, the destruction of living beings. (136)
One who is overwhelmed by lust and anger, whose mind is clouded by delusion, and who is confused about right and wrong actions, cannot have a discerning mind. (137)
Why have you, abandoning your relatives, subjected yourself to hardship in this forest? (124)
