Set not thy heart, therefore, on the grace of woman's limbs nor on the sweetness of her prattles and her glances, for these make our passions and desires wax.
Desist ye from sin at once. For transient is the life of men. Those who are engrossed here and given to pleasures, for want of control, will be deluded.
As a tortoise withdraweth his limbs within his own shell so a wise man should by spiritual exertion withdraw his senses from sin within his self.
Whosoever is determined that he would give up his body rather than dharma, his senses ever fail to move him as tempestuous wind fail to move a mountain..
