"See how nations have come and gone... Some were mere captives of self and desire, engulfed in the passions of the lower nature... And what was the final outcome? Utter evanescence and oblivion." (Pup 181) (54:9) "God grant that your desires and unmortified passions may not hinder you from that which hath been ordained for you." (Bwf 118) (54:10) "Enrapture my soul, O my Lord, with Thy most mighty signs, and draw me out of the depths of my corrupt and evil desires." (pam 216)
(54:11)
