English Translation
The foolish are simply caught in delusion and should understand that the worldly realities have no role in true contentment. Happiness is not found in fleeting pleasures, nor is suffering constant.
हिंदी अनुवाद
जो मूर्ख होते हैं, वह केवल भ्रांति में रहते हैं और उन्हें समझना चाहिए कि सांसारिक वास्तविकताओं का असली संतोष में कोई स्थान नहीं है। सुख क्षणिक सुखों में नहीं है, और न ही दुख निरंतर होता है।
