sex relationships with any women other than one’s wife. All other
women are to be considered as one’s mother. But in spite of such
injunctions, a man is still inclined to have sex relationships with
other women. These propensities are to be curbed; otherwise they
will be stumbling blocks on the path of self-realization.
