Seven

virtues, deadly sins or pure medicines

Erotic Paradise – No.1 Enjoyment

‘No one knows what you are doing, 

but you should trust and cherish in company.’

Erotic Paradise – No.2 Self-immolation

‘Self-protection can never fulfil yourself. In order to give, 

you should be ready to sacrifice.’

Erotic Paradise – No.3 Drafting

‘You have no abode when travelling. You should make friends to call 

everywhere your home and everyone your wife.’

Erotic Paradise – No.4 Radicalism

‘Exiled with no support, all your efforts are in vain. But be prepared 

for struggles any moment.’

Erotic Paradise – No.5 Stinginess

‘Spiritual sharing is difficult, and physical sharing is dangerous. 

You should learn to be alone and enjoy yourself.’

Erotic Paradise – No.6 Misdeeds

'Being unloved is the biggest stigma and suffering. But the pain of love 

is sweeter than all other joy.’

Erotic Paradise – No.7 Hypocrisy

‘Don’t be scared of your desires. The truths for life lie in kindness and positive steps towards their realization.’
