The world is like a table spread for successive relays of guests who come and go.There are gold and silver dishes, abundance of food and perfumes.The wise guest eats as much as is sufficient for him, smells the perfumes, thanks his host, and departs.The foolish guest,on the other hand, tries to carry off some of the gold and silver dishes,only to find them wrenched out of his hands, and himself thrust forth disappointed and disgraced.
