I have attained, thought I, to this Doctrine profound, recondite, hard to comprehend, serene,
excellent, beyond dialectic, abstruse, and only to be perceived by the learned. But mankind delights,
takes delight, and is happy in what it clings on to, so that for it, being thus minded it is hard to
understand causal relations and the chain of causation, hard to understand the stilling of all artificial
forces, or the renunciation of all worldly ties, the extirpation of craving, passionlessness, peace and
Nirvana.
