Just as an impotent person does not know what pleasure it is to share a union with a woman, and a barren woman cannot know the love and attachment of children.

Just as the lineage of the children of a prostitute cannot be defined, and a leper cannot be cured anyway.

Just as a blind person cannot know the beauty of the face and teeth of a woman and a deaf person cannot feel anyone's anger or happiness since he cannot hear.

Similarly, a devotee and follower of other gods and goddesses, cannot know the celestial bliss of service of true and perfect Guru. Just as camel-thorn (Alhagi maurorum) resents rain. (443)
