O lord! I would have preferred the suffering in the worst of the seventh hell to this infatuation of this worldly life.
If you feel sorrow in the suffering of fructification of your past deeds, you should also bear in mind as to whether your new deeds are not so binding? If you wish to know your self, you should keep contact with it and leave contact with all that is (not-self) others.

By reflecting with my spiritual internal knowledge, I do not see or remember any time when this self may not have roamed about or when this soul may not have indulged in thinking and desiring many objects and thereby may have missed concentrating or meditation of the self's real nature.
I constantly remember this matter and it helps in leading me to great renunciation or non-attachment.
Besides I think as to why did my soul not get upset or experience a feeling of avoidance of such thinking when it roamed about at its whim? Why did I not know that it was wrong and bad to get angry with someone, or to behave with others with pride and false sense of honour or when I was
