Rangi tano zinaweza kufanya gizo liwe tupu, Sauti tano zinaweza kufanya masikio yawe viungu, Ladha tano zinaweza kufanya kinywa kiwechechemu, Kupiga mbio na kupakura zinaweza kufanya moyo uanze kugurika, Vifaa vyenye thamani vinavyochukua kuwapata vinaweza kufanya mwenendo uendelee vibaya. Kwa hiyo, mtu mwenye hekima anajali tumbo, si macho; kwa hiyo, anaiacha hiyo na kuchagua hii.

Inavyonigusa mimi vipi?
Katika ulimwengu wa leo, ninaingiliwa na viwango vingi vya habari, picha, na hisi. Mara nyingi ninajiona nikifuatilia vitu visivyo na mantiki, na kisha nikahuzunika. Sura hii inanisaidia nionee kwamba ninahitaji kujizuia na kujikita katika msingi.
Nifanye nini leo?
Leo nitachagua kitu kimoja ambacho kitawahi hisi zangu — itume moja ya mitandao ya kijamii, ninyamaze simu, au niolewe bila kuangalia skrini. Nitajifunza kusikia kimya.
Colour's five hues from th' eyes their sight will take; Music's five notes the ears as deaf can make; The flavours five deprive the mouth of taste; The chariot course, and the wild hunting waste Make mad the mind; and objects rare and strange, Sought for, men's conduct will to evil change. Therefore the sage seeks to satisfy (the craving of) the belly, and not the (insatiable longing of) the eyes.
