Fool
Why do you who drinks seawater for thirst place your bottle down for but a second
And then complain of how badly you need drink?
Why do you find value in the teachings
And undergo the trainings of conduct and so forth
Only then to turn around and go back on this very work?
One’s actions are their own
One's intentions are their own
And only the stupid or the careless deny their future effects
Do not think no harm will come from loose conduct
Thinking that what is done is not seen
Not heard
Not felt, and so forth, if one is crafty enough
Two eyes watch every cruelty, every sleight-of-hand
Two ears hear every lie and every bitter word
If not purified, if not avoided, those same two eyes will see nothing but demons, nothing but one’s blood draining from one’s body
Those same two ears will hear nothing but growls, nothing but one's own desperate screams
To avoid these actions will help one in future lives likewise
Do you also avoid taking medicine just on account of the bitter taste?
How silly
