Passage 8

In English

If you want to grow paddy, you have to take a good deal of trouble. You have to plough the land and enrich it with manure and fertilizers. You have to use good seeds for sowing. You must put up a fence around your land to protect the plants from men and cattle. You should also remove the weeds periodically and irrigate the land properly. You must take all these steps to grow paddy. But, for growing grass you need not make any special effort. Harmful weeds grow by themselves. In a similar manner, or unrighteousness grows like poisonous weeds without any special effort. But, the delicate plant of or righteousness should be carefully tended and looked after for its survival among the wild and poisonous weeds of or unrighteousness.
