The water has no wish or preference, and shows no hesitation at anything. It has to go where it is taken; it readily turns itself into anything that is made of it. The same water enters mustard, onion and sugarcane; they grow in one bed together but taste different. Tuka says, We that have desires meet with pleasure, pain and grief.
