A fine example of how the śāstra is correct in its perception of lust, lie,
etc.

न जातु कामः कामानामुपभोगेन शाम्यति. हविषा कृष्णवर्त्मेव भुय एवाभिवर्धते.

(जैसे अग्नि में घी डालने से वह और अधिक प्रज्वलित होती है, वैसे ही भोग भोगने
से कामना कम होने की जगह और भी बढती जाती है.)
(As fire increases more and more when butter (Ghee) is poured upon it.
Desires only increases more with enjoyment and so it can never be satisfied
by the enjoyment.)
