"To act like the beasts of the field is unworthy of man." "They that follow their lusts and corrupt inclinations have erred and dissipated their efforts. They are indeed of the lost." "The pursuit of passion and desire will wrap the eyes in a thousand veils that rise out of the heart to blind the sight and... insight as well." (Bwf 114; Bwf 124; Sdc 64) (49:6) "This physical world of man is subject to the power of the lusts, and sin is the consequence of this power of the lusts... The body of man is a captive of nature; it will act in accordance with whatever nature orders... A man who has not had a spiritual education is a brute." (Saq 135) (49:7) "O Moving Form of Dust!... The sword of thy rebellion hath felled the tree of thy hope... Imperishable glory I have chosen for thee, yet boundless shame thou hast chosen for thyself." (Hwp 29) (49:8) "Be ye the trustees of God amongst His creatures, and the emblems of His generosity amidst His people. They that follow their lusts and corrupt inclinations, have erred and dissipated their efforts. They, indeed, are of the lost." (Bwf 124) (49:9) "Let God be all- sufficient for thee. Commune intimately with His Spirit." (Bwf 109)
