Abstinence and contentment with little are worthy of admiration; it is commendable not to give in to the power of voluptuousness and not to servile the intolerable and base ruler - the womb (1). The womb says: give it. “I will gladly give it if, having received what you ask, you maintain chastity.” And if you sacrifice this to others, then you will receive dirt from me, and not in excess. When you become abstinent, then I will give you in abundance (2). Whoever strives in abstinence tries to compare with the virgins (2). You might be interested in:
