Man is not a Brahmacharya because he has
left his wife; vain is the renunciation which
consists in leaving one’s country. Lust and fear
grow up through desire; we must quit idle prating
of renunciation. If a man whose legs are trembling
talks about his valour, the right moment will
scatter it to the winds. Tuka says, Sin cleaves to
the tongue, if it praises what is worthless.
