Param Pujya Dadashri says, “ If you burn your sins in repentance even then your bad deeds would end. After listening to all this, if you were to ask me, "What would happen to me?" I would reassure you that I would help you. There are conditions. You have to wise up from today. From the moment you become aware of your mistake and do pratikramans with sincerity. I will show you what to do next. Then it would all disappear and I would do many other vidhis, special blessings, for you.” Ugh, my heart. Illicit Desires, by Ashley James, was amazing, heartbreaking, beautiful…I could go on and on. I loved the first two books in the series, but Crew and Anderson destroyed me. 🖤🖤 The moment one has a thought about having illicit sex, he is headed for a life in the animal kingdom. One thinks in his mind, ‘What is possibly going to happen to me?’ And that is why people do not have any fear. But this world is a factory of fear, therefore be careful when you tread. This is a dangerous era of moral and spiritual decline. Day by day, the time is continuing to degrade; thoughts and everything else will continue to go bad. Therefore, if you talk about going to moksha, then you will get somewhere. That is why wise men practiced brahmacharya and got out of it by attaining liberation. Those who steal the chastity of a woman become worthy of a life in hell The struggles Crew and Anderson face are raw and real and messy. There’s no sugar coating the difficulties that come not only with being an addict, but also for an addicts loved ones. Ashley wrote these scenes with honesty and didn’t shy away from the hard shit. I wanna thank her for writing a story that I think will help a lot of people feel seen and not so alone. Just as your wife is your own, so is the case with other men. Everyone has a wife of his own, just as one has his. Every girl is born to be someone’s wife, she belongs to someone. You cannot see [look upon] someone else’s wife in any other way. If you do see her sensually by mistake, due to impression from the past life (karmic effect), then do pratikraman for it. This is all one needs to be aware of; nothing else.

I could talk forever about Crew. My heart broke for him. He longs to be loved—hiding secrets. Drug addiction, his purpose in life, and his feelings for Anderson, It’s not like he woke up one day and said, “I will be a drug addict today. “I can't explain in words how much I'm going to miss this world and these characters, each one of them keeps a piece of my heart, I don't know how I discovered this author but she has become one of my favorites, everything she writes is pure gold and this book was no exception, from the moment I knew that this would be Anderson and Crew's book I was very intrigued as to how they would go from friends to lovers and the truth is that WOW what a beautiful love story, with so many emotions, with so much passion, with so much love, you could smell from miles away the love and respect that these two have for each other, what a good ending for this series that has become one of my favorites, very excited for everything that this author will bring out in the future. Chasing the next high, so that he can forget the feeling of loneliness, Crew is always on a hunt for mind tingling sensations, that epic bliss of nothingness, to avoid the void inside him.

A. If you want to stop anything from happening i.e an effect, you have to find the cause. Once you put... A. The moment your eyes fall upon someone and the spark of attraction ignites, you have to stop the... I didn’t expect Illicit Desires to have affected me the way it did. The author’s writing has revolved from book one. I felt she wrote with raw emotions and poured her heart and soul into this book. As the breaths of life increase in frequency, the lifespan decreases. When is the maximum number of breaths used? It is used in fear, in anger, in greed, in deceit and most of all in the sexual act with a woman. In the sexual act with a wife, they are used up more, but in illicit sex with any other woman they are used up much more. This is a story of Crew and Anderson, two best friends, so close but still unaware of their Deepest Desires.Dadashri: Rapists go to the seventh hell. As much pleasure he derives from his actions, the misery and pain that he suffers is infinitely greater and that is when he will decide that he does not want to go there anymore. Therefore, in this world if there is anything that you most definitely should not do, it is to rape someone. Never allow your intentions to be tainted sexually. One who rapes goes to hell and has nothing but constant suffering there. In this world there is nothing higher than a woman’s chastity. Free yourself with True Repentance Param Pujya Dadashri says, ‘ You would have to follow her [the woman you have an illicit relationship with] wherever she goes in her next life. She may come as your mother in the next life. I [Param Pujya Dadashri] have seen in my Gnan that there are so many sons, these days, born to their mistresses of their previous life. The son would be of an upper caste and the mother would be of a lower caste. The mother would go to the lower caste and the son would have to go from an upper caste to a lower caste again. Look at these terrible dangers. The woman of past life would become your mother in this birth, and the mother of this birth would become your wife in your next birth. Such are the horrible dangers of this sexual world. In short, make sure you understand this.’ When one enjoys someone else’s wife, it is equivalent to him not worrying about someone else enjoying his own daughter. And that is exactly what happens, is it not? Others do enjoy his daughter, do they not? This is considered as extreme worthlenessness; the “ultimate” worthlessness.
