He truly had no equals in his time and there certainly are none today. Why are we hypocrites and who is preaching anything?

Why are we hypocrites and who is preaching anything?I annexed an example of what a boyish thing may be, whereas he refers to it as a grab-all category for frivolities in youth. The point is, collecting keyboards as artificial tokens of life's progress as practiced by most Gekhakrs would be a boyish thing.and, the hypocrisy is in preaching that one has read and affixed themselves to higher-truths (this big wordy word book), while still personally frequenting the mire of which is HERE. That said, I still think the translations are worth reading for its interesting syntax.
