Those born blind cannot see; similarly blind are those in the grip of lust. Proud men have no perception of evil; and those bent on acquiring riches see no sin in their actions.

Love forgives the lover even his lust.

It is the most sensual men who need to flee women and torment their bodies.

Women have hunger two-fold, shyness four-fold, daring six-fold, and lust eight-fold as compared to men.

Poverty, disease, sorrow, imprisonment and other evils are the fruits borne by the tree of one's own sins.

There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.
