Shamelessness amassed to such an extent that words like, ‘O my love! Give me a kiss’, are now written on candies and other Western treats. Who bears the weight of all this sin? Indubitably, it is upon the shoulders of that Yas u ‘ who imparted the teaching that a young man or woman may cast a glance at each other, but should not intend to commit adultery. O ignorant one! Is intent to commit adultery within one’s control? A man who continues to freely gaze upon unrelated women, will eventually look upon them one day with an evil intent, because carnal passions are innate within every human being, and experience tells us in loud voice—rather, screams at us—that gazing upon unrelated women never leads to anything good. What is the reason that the European continent is brimming with adultery? It is exactly that gazing at unrelated women with- out any compunction became a norm. At first, adultery of the eye occurred, then it became an ordinary thing to also embrace them. Then, advancing from that, kissing became a habit to the point that in Europe now, teachers take grown-up girls to their homes and kiss them with abandon and no one stops them. Obscene and immoral phrases are written on sweets, and pornography is por- trayed in pictures. Women themselves advertise how pretty they are and how their nose looks and how their eyes look, and novels are written about their lovers. There is such a torrent of promiscu- ity that one cannot protect one’s ears, or eyes, or hands, or mouth.
