Passage 4

In English

In a hillock, there is a rock. A sculptor goes to the rock and attempts to chisel out a figure. When he chisels a figure out of the rock, small bits of the rock fall out. It is only the sacred figure that has been carved out that will be put in the temple. Other pieces of rock will remain near the hillock. The other pieces of rock may keep saying, “We are a part of the beautiful figure that has been carved out.” This is the meaning of “.” This means that the small pieces of rock and the beautiful idol have come from the same source. Only the sculptor gave a beautiful form to the idol and it is worshipped as being divine. The only difference between the small pieces of rock and the idol is in the form and the name.
