- ...Have you
seen anyone that has not been affected by the pitfalls of this world? And
have you seen anyone that has not fallen sick? Have you seen any life that
has not ended with death? The world beguiles and impedes, it is happiness
leading to evil: it ruins those who crave for it and it harms those who
benefit from it. Its seeker who laughs it will make cry and those who rejoice
with its peace it will destroy. They will regret their slips when they strive
to achieve it. They will remain hostage to its fears and apprehensions.
They will wish to live just an hour longer...
