The path to the goal of life need not be smooth and easy...

Here, the Teacher gives us a clear
picture of the reality. This is
true of any field of endeavor.

Once a goal is reached,
everyone notices us.
The true well wisher will
shed a tear or two of happiness
recalling our long journey of struggle and sweat

in reaching this goal.
The envious ones will be restless.

They will defame or injure the person
by bad mouthing or criticizing.

Life stories of this nature are
reminded by the Teacher only to
indicate that the path to the Goal
of life need not be smooth and easy.
