As a very thirsty deer runs after mirage, deluded by the iMusion of water; so this creature, taking worldly pleasures to be real bappi. ness, strives for them.
39 Just as a deer, being strongly attracted by the fragrance of m:isk, , wanders here and there for its acquisition and dose not know it to be in its own navel; in the same way a stupid person makes ineffectual exertions for happiness, but does not know that his inner self is full of bliss.
40 In the morning, at noon, in the after noon, in the evening and at night all objects of the world undergo changes. What then sho uld be the object of our trust?
