By the Truth I tell you,

surely if the water-skin does not have a hole in it or is damaged,
it is about to be a place for honey.

Hearts are the same,

if the desire does not have a hole in it
and greed does not soil it,

and luxury does not make it hard,
soon it will be a jug of wisdom."

"The example of whosoever demands the world
is like those who drink sea water.
