A sesamum-seed, half a grain of mustard,
a grain of boiled rice, should you gain as much
happiness as that, you will find, if you look, that it
has no bounds. So, make haste; do not waste
your time looking round you, while we possess
all our senses and all are fully awake. To-day
we have our fill of happiness, a happiness
with which holy places cannot compare, not even
those that are above Kashi or Gaya. Whoso,
through pride, is ashamed to accept this, in this
matter, says Tuka, he will be ruined.
