Yaavajiivam pi ce baalo - pa.n.dita.m payirupaasati;
na so dhamma.m vijaanaati - dabbii suuparasa.m yathaa.
If a fool associates with a wise man for the whole of
his life
He knows not the Dhamma, just as a spoon knows not the
taste of soup.
Muhuttamapi ce vi~n~nuu - pa.n.dita.m payirupaasati;
khippa.m dhamma.m vijaanaati - jivhaa suuparasa.m
yathaa.
If a sage associates with a wise man for only an
instant
Quickly he knows the Dhamma, just as a tongue knows
the taste of soup.
