________________ Therefore, whosoever endeavoureth for a life of sexual abstinence, should avoid listening to women's cooing, hissing, singing, laughing, giggling and wailing. Therefore, whosoever endeavoureth for a life of sexual abstinence should avoid recollections of women's laugh, play, enjoyment, arrogance and sudden threats. Therefore, whosoever endeavoureth for a life of sexual abstinence should avoid delicious food and drink which may soon rouse his passions. For he who eateth excessively his passions bate not, like forest-fire driven by wind in a forest full of fuel; this becometh not of him who endeavoureth for a life of sexual abstinence. 26 Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Suratwww.umaragyanbhandar.com
