The text uses several analogies to describe things that are incomplete. How do these comparisons relate to Ratanji's situation?

📖 Chapter 14

In Chapter 14, several analogies are used to illustrate the profound sense of incompleteness that plagued Ratanji despite his outward success. His life without a son is compared to "Hari-kirtan without love," "singing without rhythm and tune," and a "household without a son." These comparisons serve to emphasize that, in the context of his values, his vast wealth and property were fundamentally lacking in true beauty and purpose. Just as a pilgrimage is meaningless without repentance, his prosperity was considered fruitless and hollow without an heir to support his lineage, which was the source of his constant worry.
