5.298

贊曰:下合樂著,不以比智覺,不以現智知,不驚其果、不怖其因,不總厭苦、不求解脫,由此馳流善惡趣間不曾以之為患,譬愚戇之戲糞壤,若癡騃之墮炎鑪,未以塵坌為羞,豈以火燒為痛者也。

The Commentary says: Below corresponds to craving and clinging. They do not perceive with inferential knowledge, nor do they know with direct perception; they are not shocked by its fruits, nor are they terrified of its causes; they do not universally detest suffering, nor do they seek liberation. Hence they rush through the rounds of the good and evil destinies, never taking them as an affliction—just as a fool plays in dung and dirt, or as an ignorant child falls into a flaming furnace: they have not yet felt ashamed of the dust and grime, so how could they feel the burning of fire to be painful?
