If the beings knew the reward for the distribution of gifts, as I do, they would enjoy nothing without having given something, and the stain of avarice would not hold their hearts. Even the last morsel, the last crumb, they would not enjoy without distributing from it, if they had a recipient for it. But since the beings do not know the reward for the distribution of gifts as I do, they also enjoy without having given something, and the stain of avarice is wrapped around their heart.
Itiv 26
