Truly I say to you, just as a sick man looks at food and does not enjoy it because he is in pain, so, a lover of this world does not enjoy worship or appreciate its delights because of his love for this world.. Truly I say to you, if a beast of burden is left unridden and undisciplined, it grows headstrong and changes its character. So also if the heart is not softened by mention of death and the strain of worship, it grows hard and callous... Truly I say to you, if a water skin is not torn or withered, it may hold honey, so also if the heart is not torn with desires, defiled by avarice, or hardened by luxury, it can be a vessel of wisdom... Jesus...
