Passage 13

In English

Man has lost the ability to discriminate between the permanent and impermanent things. Because of the absence of such discriminating power, man simply gets excited and acts in a state of excitement. They are not even able to recognise that excitement is a weak-ness in them. If their desires and their ambitions are fulfilled, they are happy and contented. If their desires and their ambitions are not fulfilled, they get excited. They do not even try to find out the reason why their desires have not been fulfilled.
