4. The Rose tree has both lovely flowers as well as prickly thorns.

If your eyes are on the flowers, you experience serenity and happiness. If however your looks are on thorns, you will feel distress and repulsion. Let not your fingers go to the thorns.

Let your eyes turn towards the flowers. So also with the world which has both good things and bad.

So also are husband and wife, who together

But problems will be less if both were to realize that

no two in this world are alike.
