     10:13  The ass works very hard for no tangible gain. He carries on his back tons of cloth for the washerman, and the washerman in return gives him a little morsel of grass diffhist +1 Nabakumar talk contribs
     10:09  We are escaping their reality. But their reality is a dog's race, and our reality is to advance in self-realization, Krsna consciousness. That is the difference. Therefore the mundane, materialistic workers have been described as mudhas, asses diffhist +1 Nabakumar talk contribs

     10:02  In a high-court a judge is sitting soberly, apparently doing nothing, and he is getting the highest salary. And another man in the same court - he's working hard all day long, rubber-stamping, and he is getting not even one-tenth of the judge's salary diffhist +1 Nabakumar talk contribs
