The knowledge of the fundamental nature of the object of discrimination, like the light of a lamp, is like the fangs of a snake, causing only suffering and fear to the human being. This woman, who dwells in the minds of even the saints, drives away the virtues that are worthy of worship in the world - she exiles them. It is better to embrace a furious, writhing serpent than to embrace a woman who is like a path to hell, even out of curiosity. A woman who provokes the senses of a man creates a fire in his heart that is not like the flame of a fire that is touched. A woman is like twilight, fleeting in her desires, like a low-lying river, she is fond of the low, and like the moon in its waning phase, she is crooked. And so, just as the nature of a woman is perceived with utter contempt, so too is the nature of all other things perceived in their true form by the man of right perception. Therefore, he knows clearly the distinction between what is to be rejected and what is to be accepted. This thing is worthy of rejection, and this thing is worthy of acceptance, this clear discrimination, determination, decisive intellect, and perception are firmly imprinted in his soul. Therefore, even if he may not be able to act accordingly, that is, even if he cannot renounce a woman, who is inherently to be rejected, or even if he cannot accept renunciation, which is inherently to be accepted, even then, his inner feeling, perception, realization, and unwavering conviction remain unchanged. Perhaps due to the force of karma, he may be unable to do so, but even then, he constantly feels a genuine remorse, thinking, "Alas! I cannot renounce this thing that is to be rejected, I cannot accept this renunciation." Thus, there is a distinction in the mind of the knower, while the ignorant do not have such a distinction in their perception. Thus, there is a vast difference between the vision, the tendencies, and the activities of the knower and the ignorant. Because the knower of right perception has attained the knowledge of discrimination. He knows the distinction between himself and other things. He has the unwavering perception and experience of the fundamental knowledge that "I am the pure soul, distinct from all other substances."
