Among you, there must be some who have the experience of feeding a cow. It is such a drudgery to take the cow out for a feed during the monsoon season or when the weather is bad. When I also was taking a cow for a feed in the past, I even had to beat on it. Some of you must be laughing because you have similar experiences. I was not the only one who had to do this. My parents told me to take the cow out for a feed and come back by a certain time, but what can I do when there isn't much grass on the flat plain? At such times, I decide, "I don't care; on the hill in the back there is a flower garden that father likes very much, so I am going to take it there and feed it." Then, I take it to that nearby mountain. However, the cow is unwilling to climb up further but is starting to eat the grass half way. When it does that, I beat it with a stick. Even then, I do not feel pity for it. Have you ever felt this? What would the cow do after you take it to the designated place in such a difficult way, crossing rivers and climbing mountains, and let it go once you get there? Would it not start to feed on grass because you had told it not to eat earlier? At that moment, its tongue, lips, ears, and eyes express gratitude and hurriedly start to munch on it.

I am guiding you while restraining you because I know such a place, yet you do not understand that. You do not even know that such a place exists. If you know this clearly, then you yourself will want me to constrain you. Do you understand?

When I tell you to go out witnessing, all of you run away, complaining, "Everyone else is going on vacation, but what, witnessing? How embarrassing is that."

This is because you do not understand. If you refuse to walk the path that can liberate the people and the world, then those who understand should beat you and drive you. Everyone, is driving you the righteous thing to do or is leaving you alone the more righteous thing to do? You delicate ladies, answer me which is the more righteous one.
