20. Leave aside the enjoyment of carnal pleasures even their expectations and desires cause great misery. Just like an animal tethered with a rope suffers, the soul that is tied down to the carnal desires suffers and keeps wandering, life after life, in the terrible world. As king Kaņdarīka who wandered due to the worldly transmigration due to his deep attachment to even unavailable worldly pleasures, the expectant soul also wanders in miserable destinations like hells and subhuman species. Therefore, the desires for worldly pleasures are also worth giving up only.
