One who is for fame resents till death,
One who is for gain disavows family;
One who is for sentiment brings vexation on himself,
Bitterly fighting each other, making karma over a lifetime.
Not seeking fame, enjoying leisure, feeling content,
Not stressing gain, a benevolent righteous person;
Not moved by sentiment, clear-hearted with few desires,
With benevolence, cultivating oneself, accruing virtue over a lifetime.
