One cannot partake of paddy in its raw form.
It has to be de-husked and refined into rice
and then cooked well.
Only then will it be fit for consumption.
When paddy undergoes refinement and becomes rice,
its value enhanced several fold.
The process of refinement involves grinding,
separating the husk, removing the dust, and polishing.
In the same way, one cannot get
happiness for the mere asking.
One has to work for it.
The more one engages in right works,
the greater will be the reward.
So, one should be prepared to work hard
and get refined.
Studying, eating, walking, sitting,
running, smiling, and weeping --
all these constitute the process of refinement.
How does weeping refine man?
When one weeps, one gets rid of impure water.
