If you bring it to pass, this may happen: the
dull may grow sharp, and the learned mad.
Yet no one knows the secret; I prefer to endure
the pits of sorrow. A lame man can cross a
mountain, a dumb man can speak, a sinful man
grow virtuous, a wicked man abstain from injuries;
all this can Hari bring to pass in mere sport; he
can set the whole world free. He amuses himself,
says Tuka; he observes the world, pervading it yet
sitting apart.
