The book uses several analogies to illustrate incompleteness. What are some of these, and how do they connect to Ratanji's state of mind?

To emphasize Ratanji's feeling of emptiness despite his wealth, Chapter 14 employs a series of powerful analogies. It questions the value or 'beauty' of things that lack a crucial element. Examples given include: Hari-kirtan performed without love, singing that lacks rhythm and tune, a Brahmin without his sacred thread, or a person who is outwardly religious with sandal paste and a Tulsi garland but slanders saints. The most direct comparisons used to mirror Ratanji's plight are a pilgrimage undertaken without repentance, jewelry lacking a central necklace, and, most pointedly, a household without a son. These analogies highlight that, in his own eyes, Ratanji's prosperous life was fundamentally incomplete without a male heir.
