To a person who has no faith in righteousness,
the joy derived from its observance is incomprehensible.
To dilate upon it before such a person
is as useless a venture as blowing a conch
before a person who is stone deaf.
So when righteousness is taught to a person,
ascertain whether that person has faith and earnestness,
and the eagerness to practise it. Only such persons must be dealt with.
