Passion and Salvation

The religious philosophers have agreed that there are four substances which make a successful life; out of these two are related to the world and two are related to the religion. Wealth and Passion are worldly substances. Religion and salvation are spiritual things. To earn wealth is not to practice religion. But to follow a religion is not an earning of the wealth. Sex facilitates procreation and wealth nourishes. The attraction of the human mind for wealth is due to the attraction of sex. As the wealth increases, the sex desires increases. Generally rich people become licentious. Wealth and sex go together. Religion and salvation are also in union. As the wealth increases, the passions also grow. As the piety increases, so the salvation increases. Piety breaks the fetters of useless wealth. With the decrease in the greed for wealth, the sex desire also diminishes. Man achieves the freedom of salvation.

Sex desire is the bondage for the physical body. Excess or imperfect sex desire gives birth to anger. Due to anger the body starts decaying. As per Gur-Wak:

Unfulfilled sexual desire and unresolved anger waster the body away,
As gold is dissolved by borax. 
(SGGS, p 932)

Excessively sexy person becomes extremely angry. However when the excess growth of piety brings the sex desire within limits, then a person enjoys the bliss of true internal freedom.
