The Master Said:
"Ordinary people practice spiritual discipline and cultivate devotion to God;
but they also become attached to 'woman and gold'. They are like flies,
which sit on a flower or a sweetmeat and light on filth as well.
But the ever-perfect are like bees, which only light on flowers and sip the honey.
The ever perfect drink only the Nectar of Divine Bliss. They are never inclined
to worldly pleasures."
