In English
Ten friends came together and they wanted to cross a flowing stream. As the river or the stream was flowing fast, they were somewhat confused. However, by some effort they reached the other bank of the river, and developed a doubt whether they had all been able to cross the stream. The moment this doubt entered their mind, there was also a desire to check whether all the ten people had indeed come through. One of them began counting one, two, three until nine and then he imagined that the tenth person was not present. Under those circumstances, to think that one is absent is simply the result of his own ignorance, because he was not counting himself. Not only was he under the impression that the tenth person was not present, but he also began to feel that one of the group may have been washed away in the river, and they were all in a state of mourning. The feeling that the tenth person was not present is ignorance, and the feeling that he was washed away by the river is a further step in their ignorance. To get the feeling that the tenth person was even dead and gone is complete ignorance.
