The five desires are not long-lasting, as if borrowed for only an instant. Worldly people foolishly and deludedly lust after and cling to the five desires, not forsaking them until they die. On account of them, in later lives, they undergo immeasurable suffering. The tree topples over, he plummets to the ground and, smashing his body and head, dies an agonizing death. When lost, there is great suffering.
People indulge the five desires after the same fashion as animals.
