a lady who is not your wife, is a sin. To indulge in sex with
someone who is not your lawfully wedded wife is a great
sin.

Where is co-education leading us? Although there are
schools which are only for boys and only for girls. But
today’s upbringing is very different. Children do not follow
moral codes. And their choices take them to the brink of
sinful behaviour. And yet, parents knowingly encourage their
children to go ahead. There is no thought of the consequences
of such actions, and where they would take the new generation.
No one understands that anguish and misery are the direct
consequences of craving sensual delectation. The obsession
with sensual desire shall lead to a great deal of agony
and sorrow. Sensual desire lengthens the soul’s journey in
sañsāra. Birth after birth, he craves sensual fulfilment and
keeps immersing himself deeper and deeper in the quicksand
of sañsāra. A person caught in the throes of passion cannot
appreciate what grief lies in store for him. He cannot even
begin to imagine that sensual indulgence of this sort shall
lead to unthinking, unhesitating indulgence into more acts of
this type in further lives. It is ironic how present indulgence
in such acts results in future booking of the soul in more
heedless indulgences in further lives. Ironic and sad.
Rupsen’s death

In the case of Rupsen, the echoes of his sins affected his
current and further lives. He died in an accident.

While walking towards the princess’s palace, he found himself
walking beside a building that was being demolished. As fate
would have it, a section of the building fell on top of him,
and he was killed instantly. On dying, he was reborn in the
womb of Sunanda.
