Departure from the Ashram [31]

What takes people away mostly is not the smaller failings like family attachment etc., but either ambition and great vanity or sexual desire or else some extreme form of vital ego which wants its own way and not the Divine’s. It is from the first two causes that the departures from the Asram have mostly taken place and X and Y’s case is no exception to the rule.
