sn20.5:1.1 At Sāvatthī.
BAGIAN 1
sn20.5:1.2 “Mendicants, suppose there was a sharp-pointed spear.
sn20.5:1.3 And a man came along and thought,
sn20.5:1.4 ‘With my hand or fist I’ll fold this sharp spear over, crumple it, and bend it back!’
sn20.5:1.5 What do you think, mendicants?
sn20.5:1.6 Is that man capable of doing so?”
sn20.5:1.7 “No, sir.
sn20.5:1.8 Why not?
sn20.5:1.9 Because it’s not easy to fold that sharp spear over, crumple it, and bend it back with the hand or fist.
sn20.5:1.10 That man will eventually get weary and frustrated.”
