You may call a woman mad with passion, when she tears off her clothes and strips herself naked. What significance belongs to mere talk? Inside and outside mean different things. The sight or even the taste of the mirage will not satisfy thirst. You may call him stout-hearted who goes on his way without waiting for anyone, Tuka says, These are the characteristics which form the ornaments worn by the saints.
We should not kill even a snake in the presence of the saints, since they feel that their own souls pervade the universe. There is one thread that runs through the individual and the universal soul; both are indistinguishable; if you pluck forth a single hair, the whole body feels a shock. The saints cannot bear to see another hurt; it is a sort of pain to themselves; they feel that the soul in all creatures is the same. Tuka says, This is the law of morality; this is what is meant by worship; it keeps the soul at peace.
