IMPURE LIFE

There are some in this world that like the kunri seed ate beautifully red all over, but have in their hearts a black spot like that seed. Kunri is a very hard and light and beautiful red seed used as the smallest unit in weighing gold. It has a black spot on its "nose."

There are many that pass for holy men who keep foulness in their hearts and go through the external abulations of saints in order to hide their sins. Is not the cruel arrow smooth and straight, while the curved lyre makes sweet music? Our judgement must depend not on appearance but on conduct.
