25. Does he understand what his own high purpose is, he who does violence to beings for the sake of that body which, though spoken of as Isa (the Ruler, king, etc) goes also under the names of worms, refuse and ashes (i.e., for the sake of the perishable and worthless body)? For, cruelty to other beings leads to hell.
