Jamāli said, “My dear parents! I appreciate all that you have said about my wives. They are really very worthy things. But you know well that these human desires and experiences so much extolled by you are always impure, apart from being transcient. Their base is impure, blood. saliva, semen. They are unpleasent, loathsome, full of foul odour. Through energy and respiration, they generate restlessness, but in themselves, they are unwholesome, transcient, light, impure like kalmala (an impure substance in human body), causing misery, and they are common to all human beings.

The enjoyment of desires is a major hurdle on the road to salvation. Considering all these, my dear parents, please permit me." . .
