## The Great Path (Niry-Upadesh) (51)
While wandering in the world of existence, all four types of pudgala dravya (skandha, desha, pradesha, and paramanu) have been bound to me (as karma). And through the results of my mind (mano-bhavas), I have accumulated eight types of karma. (52) While wandering in the cycle of existence, all those pudgala dravya have been transformed into food by me, yet I have not attained liberation. (53) Due to my greed for food, I have been born in the lower realms, in all the hells, and in many mleccha jati (lowly castes) in the human realm. (54) Due to greed for food, fish go to the painful hell realms. Therefore, even mentally desiring food with awareness is not permissible for a muni. (55) Just as fire cannot be satiated by offerings of grass and wood, and the salt sea cannot be filled by the waters of thousands of rivers, this being cannot be satisfied by sensual pleasures. (56) Just as fire cannot be satiated by offerings of grass and wood, and the salt sea cannot be filled by the waters of thousands of rivers, this being cannot be satisfied by wealth. (57) Just as fire cannot be satiated by offerings of grass and wood, and the salt sea cannot be filled by the waters of thousands of rivers, this being cannot be satisfied by various types of food. (58) Just as it is difficult to cross a vast hell like a great fire, this being cannot be satisfied by fragrances and garlands. (59) This being has never been satisfied by sound, form, fragrance, taste, and touch in the past, and will never be satisfied in the future.
