Women must think very shrewdly
They must not surrender their joy
They cannot just like that decide
As they only must bear the child

Men can simply leave after bedding
The burden of carrying the baby
Falls entirely on the female only
She must wait for ten long months

She must be careful in her choice
She must weigh with real caution
She must not act on instinct blindly
She must very thoroughly analyze

The partner chosen must be a gem
His mind must not waver or vacillate
He must be loyal in all the ways
He must protect her with perfect love

If just for body pleasure two souls unite
That may never get everlasting bliss
Such a happiness will never stay at all
That is a blind step leading to misery

Pleasure can be created independently
That is the natural body structure
Without the help of another person
God has created ways to enjoy pleasure

Still when two souls mingle with love
Getting emotionally involved always
That may take both to holy paradise
Still for that both must cooperate finely

Even animals show love and get mirth
But, human beings can think very well
They can show wit and great wisdom
Never love just for bodily enjoyment

Self-pleasure is a scheme of the Lord
Not for all the souls to follow that
But, when great agonies dominate
That bodily solitude is a fine cushion

Suicides are in fact not worth at all
Killing oneself is a foolish blunder
Wonders are in our body itself
We must tap that for getting solace

Love and live and firmly believe
That we can create a love-relation
But, always know that we can save
Our body and soul with self-help.
