Chapter 9
Being Excessive

a
Keep filling your stomach and you will vomit
It is better to stop short

b
Keep sharpening your sword
And the sword will break

Secure your life with the love of money
c
And no one can protect it

d
Riches and titles bring arrogance
And disaster will follow

When you achieve and acquire fame
e
Remain humble
This is the Way of God
