The virtuous sages never tolerate even a day's worth of dust or passion—poetic call for constant vigilance.
The wise see passions like enemies, pleasures like poison, and delusion as the greatest disease.
Attachment to passions, pleasures, delusion, and false belief—all lead to evil paths according to seers.
One must destroy passions and their allies—no liberation is possible through a door clogged with passions.
Just as a doctor charges for curing illness, even ascetic practices done for show become transactional—highlighting hypocrisy.
The dull-minded avoid their duty calling it difficult work, but no noble success is ever achieved without courageous effort and initiative.
Foolishness is painful, youth in poverty is worse, but worst is living in another’s house or in foreign lands—each causing deep helplessness.
A reiteration emphasizing the compounded misery of ignorance, youth with no means, and homelessness—heightening the emotional pathos.

Hardship does not always stem from surroundings or fate but from inner turmoil—real struggle is born from within.
