BAGIAN 18
mn46:18.2 Then a man would come along who wants to live and doesn’t want to die, who wants to be happy and recoils from pain.
mn46:18.3 They’d say to him:
mn46:18.4 ‘Here, my man, this is bitter gourd mixed with poison.
mn46:18.5 Drink it if you like.
mn46:18.6 If you drink it, the color, aroma, and flavor will be unappetizing, and it will result in death or deadly pain.’
mn46:18.7 He wouldn’t put it down. Without appraisal, he’d drink it.
mn46:18.8 The color, aroma, and flavor would be unappetizing, and it would result in death or deadly pain.
mn46:18.9 This is comparable to the way of taking up practices that is painful now and results in future pain, I say.
