Where one is guided by the intellectual opinions, there is nothing but aimless wandering there. Only the opinions of the Vitaraag Lords (the enlightened ones) is a “safe side”!

All sensual passions find their home in effeminate bodies; the less satisfaction they can get the keener their sting.

~ Rousseau Jean-Jacques 1712-1778
