It is the same fate that awaits people reach the top using wealth. When a leaf turns white (pale), it loses the connection to the tree and falls off.

The flowers of golden shower tree are bright in color, but disappoint due to the lack of fragrance. It is the nature of this Creator that he does not put in effort to make one thing good in all respects. He intentionally leaves out a few qualities in anything he makes.

In the Himalayas, there are caves where Sun rays have never entered. Inside, those afraid of sunlight - darkness and owls are safe. It is the noble quality of the virtuous people that protect even the weak (and lowly) when they ask for refuge.
- Kumarasambhava

The Himalaya has numerous virtuous qualities each one like a gem. His greatness is not concealed in spite of having snow all over him. His virtuous qualities are so many that it is not possible to see any vice that may exist. His glory is clearly evident in the moon light.

He who indulges in Kama having forgotten about dharma (morality) and even artha(wealth) will realize his mistake only after he is hurt. Just like a person who is sleeping on a branch of the tree. He will be woken up only when he falls.
