Become an ant to eat the sugar; seek the meeting with your true self. When sugar lies scattered on the ground, what good does it do for an elephant to come and weep over it? One becomes a holy man or renunciant and puts on a show of illusory practice. Learning, scholarship, and evening prayers all become mere entertainment for the crowd. Without genuine love in the heart, and without firm conviction in the mind, mere words of Brahman-knowledge on the tongue amount to nothing if the conduct belies them. They inflate false grandeur and worship themselves. Says Tuka, become small and humble; then ask for the true treasure and receive it.
