He who is bound with the fetters of hope remains a slave of the world; he who heeds nothing is venerated by all. In this matter all depends on ourselves; why should we blame others? Troubles assail the suspicious; the unsuspecting is ready to feast himself. Tuka says, Fear is in store for him; a thief runs swiftly after him.
