'As in the Great Ocean, O disciples, there is but one taste, the taste of salt,
so, O disciple, in the doctrine which I preach unto you, there is but one taste,
the taste of Deliverance.

'This people, who differentiate themselves, having attained existence, sunk
in existence, praise in existence.

* * *

'Behold this variegated world, sunk in ignorance, full of pleasure-loving
beings unemancipated.

'Should a man not exert himself on every occasion, not exist for another,
not live for the sake of others, truly, he doth not live the holy life.

'The Wheel is broken; the Desireless is attained.
The river-bed is dry; no water floweth;
No more the broken wheel will roll.
This is the end of Sorrow.'
From the Udāna
