Verse 12
The five colours blind the eye
The five tones deafen the ear
The five flavours dull the palate
Racing, hunting, and galloping about
only disturb the mind
Wasting energy to obtain rare objects
only impedes one's growth
So the Sage is led by his inner truth
and not his outer eye
He holds to what is deep
and not what lies on the surface
The five tones deafen the ear
The five flavours dull the palate
Racing, hunting, and galloping about
only disturb the mind
Wasting energy to obtain rare objects
only impedes one's growth
So the Sage is led by his inner truth
and not his outer eye
He holds to what is deep
and not what lies on the surface
