58. Just as oil (taila) is constantly revealed (sphuṭatām eti śāśvatīm) from a sesame seed (tilasya) through crushing (ākrāntyā), so also, from the mind's (cetasaḥ) contemplation (mananāt) and attachment (āsaṅgāt), happiness and unhappiness (sukhāsukhe) become solidified (ghanībhūte).

58. כפי ששמן נסחט ונגלה מתוך השומשום בעזרת הבלטה ולחיצה, כך דרך ההיאחזות במחשבות הופכים האושר והסבל למוחשיים ובעלי עוצמה בחשיבה.
