1.289

“Bound and attached, one sinks in suffering”: this is the defilement of karma arising. The old elephant illustrates being bound and attached; the mire of mud illustrates all kinds of suffering. Being an elephant, its body is heavy: attachment is dense. Being old, it sinks in the mud: contemplative wisdom is weak. Therefore, sinking in the mud of all kinds of suffering, it cannot free itself.
