Someone came to the house of a close friend and lay down there, getting drunk. Meanwhile, his close friend had to go about his business. He attached priceless pearls to the guest's lining as a gift and left. And this man lay unconscious, felt nothing and understood nothing.
When he got up, he went to a foreign country, got clothes and food through hard work and was in great need. If he managed to get a little, he already considered himself satisfied.
Subsequently it happened that a friend met him and said:
- Hey, worthy husband! Why do you endure such torment for clothing and food? Long ago, wishing you peace and satisfaction of five desires, I attached priceless pearls to the lining of your clothes, they are still in the same place, but you, without knowing it, work and suffer to ensure your existence. This is stupid!
