Sanctity
Just as an elephant untamed struggles against its chain with uneasiness and would run off to the woods, even so, a sage untamed cannot long endure the strain of sanctity and seeks an escape into the wild thickets of self-deception.
The Rapturous Vision
As the heart of a lover dances in delight at the sight of his beloved's portrait, so doth the heart of a votary dance in rapture, viewing the image of his beloved lord!
Eccentricity of Times
What a perverse irony of times! There was a day when ascetics used to pity the voluptuaries. Today it is the voluptuaries who pity the ascetics!
