Namaste,IMHO,

 

I think what is meant here is the idea of Dukkha, or that each

pleasure contains its own pain due to the fact it is known it will

end. Also a poor man has nothing to fear or lose, and a spiritual

man has already everything...........Also fear of one's son only

comes from attachment to the material...........ONS...Tony.
