Do not rely on the temporary experience of happiness. Even a
mad man finds happiness if he keeps on drinking wine. Can
we call him happy ? If yes, then do you want happiness like
him ? In reality, you can experience happiness only if there
is a check on it.
Enjoyment of pleasures is a pain whereas forsaking them is
happiness, relaxation and beauty in the true sense. Compare
the lives of those who are enjoying pleasures and those who
have left them. Who are happy and relaxed ? Where does a
woman’s beauty lie ? Even when there was a tradition of a
man having many wives, have you heard of a woman having
more than one husband ? Why not ? Because it looks weird
to even imagine one woman amidst many husbands. If the
youth gets wasted without enjoying sensual pleasures, then
why this restriction of not having many husbands ? If the
husband goes abroad for 6-12 months, then isn't the youth
of the wife at home getting wasted ?
Kamlata becomes a prostitute :
But this is a prostitute’s calculation that the youth gets
wasted without enjoying sensual pleasures. Hence she
tempted Kamlata to not waste her beautiful youth. Being
under her great obligation, Kamlata started to agree to her
talks, because of which the prostitute got the upper hand.
She started brain washing Kamlata repeatedly. As a result,
Kamlata finally surrendered to the prostitute’s desires and
began prostitution.
If one wants to fall for the wrong and does not wish to save
himself, then who can save him ? Karmasatta does not punish
one immediately or else one would save himself from doing
the wrong by fearing the consequence. But karmasatta will
show its colors at its own time. When majority of the times,
the result is seen in the next birth, who will fear now ?
