The Master Said:
"The camel loves to eat thorny bushes.
The more it eats the thorns,
the more the blood gushes out from its mouth.
Still it must eat thorny plants
and will never give them up.
The man of worldly nature suffers so much sorrow
and affliction, but he forgets it all in a few days
and begins his old life over again.
Suppose a man has lost his wife
or she has turned unfaithful.
Lo! He marries again."

The Master Said:
"Take the instance of a mother:
her son dies and she suffers bitter grief;
but after a few days she forgets all about it.
The mother, so overwhelmed with sorrow
a few days before, now attends
to her toilet and puts on her jewelry.
A father becomes bankrupt through the marriage
of his daughters, yet he goes on having
children year after year.
People are ruined by litigation,
yet they go to court all the same.
Again, the worldly man is like a snake
trying to swallow a mole.
The snake can neither swallow
the mole nor give it up"
