Paragraph 21

In plain words

"Vedic rites are very hard. And on top of that comes servitude. It is said that if a man serves someone in that way for twelve years or so, he becomes just that. If he serves people so long, he takes on their very being! Their rajas and tamas, their cruelty to living things, their love of luxury, all of this comes into him as he goes on serving them. And it is not only servitude: he lives on a pension too.
