The lust of the world is like a bath stove, whereby the bath of piety is heated. But the lot of the pious is purity from the stove's filth, because they dwell in the bath and in cleanliness. The rich are as those that carry dung to heat the furnace of the bath withal. God has instilled into them cupidity, that the bath may be warmed and pleasant.

Quit this stove and push on into the bath. Know quitting the stove to be the bath itself. Whoso is in the stove-room is as a servant to him who is temperate and prudent. Your lust is as fire in the world, with a hundred greedy mouths wide open.
