________________ Breach of Faith When one oath of man is broken, a thousand sentiments, a thousand aspirations, a thousand lives are shattered to pieces. How many hamlets are drowned in the resulting floods when a great dam is breached! Ungratified Desires When a voluptuous desire remains ungratified and is not satiated any way, a person despairing of life and pursuing the path of self-abstinence, may attain a high status in society by virtue of his abstinence; but that lacerated, repressed, sensuous desire is only biding its time, and at a convenient moment in future shoots forth blossoming and with an intense attachment seizes hold of its prey. From that moment the sovereignty of voluptuous desire reigns supreme over the person who has proved himself incapable of resisting its onset. Ungratified sensuous desire is verily the root-cause of the deep malaise eating at the heart of society to-day! 75
