Seeing one who sits in meditation, they consider it an affliction and urge him to lie down. Hearing words that encourage advancement, they adapt them to suit their own wishes; negligent and self-indulgent, they follow along with worldly customs, never considering that hearing the truth in the morning and dying in the evening is like rescuing one's head from fire. Why indulge sluggish feelings and once again practice ordinary worldly customs? Only when one vows with death as one's resolve can one be called having determination.
