Desire
. . . now that the hour of its fruiting is come, strive that it may be protected, and be not consumed with the flame of desire and passion.

Quote of the Day
Jalal 6 Kalimat 183 B.E.
But man hath perversely continued to serve his lustful appetites . . . With this, and with the perpetrating of vile and ignoble acts, his attention was engrossed, and he abandoned the temperance and moderation of a natural way of life. The result was the engendering of diseases both violent and diverse.
