Because of this the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed, since people were not guarded in matters of kedusha and shemiras einayim. The Rebbe elaborated in words of mussar that now, as we stand in the Bein HaMetzarim days, and "whoever did not see the Beis HaMikdash rebuilt in his days, it is as if it was destroyed in his days," therefore, if the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed because of the sin of shemiras einayim, in these days one must make gedarim and safeguards in these matters, and in this way we will merit the coming of the true Redeemer, bimheira b'yameinu.
