Sayings of Ramakrisha 121

Seeing the water pass glittering through the net of bamboo framework, the small fry enter into it with great pleasure, and having once entered they cannot get out again—and are caught. 

Similarly, foolish men enter into the world allured by its false glitter, but as it is easier to enter the net than to get out of it, it is easier to enter the world than renounce it, after having once entered it.
