It is difficult to be understood, particularly when one thinks and lives gangastrotogati [like the flow of the river Ganges], among nothing but people who think and live differently, namely kurmagati [like the movements of a tortoise] or, in the best cases "following the gait of frogs" mandeikagati - I’m simply doing everything to make myself difficult to be understood? - and people should appreciate from their hearts the good will in some subtlety of interpretation. But so far as "good friends" are concerned, those who are always too comfortable and believe they have a particular right as friends to a life of comfort, one does well to start by giving them a recreation room and playground of misunderstanding: - so one has to laugh - or else to get rid of them altogether, these good friends - and also to laugh!
