5. In that life of Samsara, wealth which is external life to man is sapped by wicked men who are like unto stinged flies and mosquitoes, by insects, locusts, thieves, rats and others; thus sapped and tossed about somewhere on this road and with his mind and heart steeped in ignorance (Avidya), desires (Kama) and actions (Karma), the Jiva under a misapprehension regards this human world of undesirable things as full of real blessings, (which it is not).
