To him the Masterbr said: "There was a man who had a pet dog. He used to caress it, carry it about in his arms, play with it andbr kiss it. A wise man, seeing this foolish behaviour of his, warned him not to lavish such affection on a dog.br For it was, after all, an irrational brute, and might bite him one day. The owner took the warning to heartbr and putting away the dog from his arms, resolved never again to fondle or caress it. But the animal couldbr not at first understand the change in his master, and would run to him frequently to be taken up andbr caressed. Beaten several times, the dog at last ceased to trouble his master any more. Such indeed is yourbr condition. The dog that you have been cherishing so long in your bosom will not easily leave you, thoughbr you may wish to be rid of it. However, there is no harm in it. Do not caress the dog any more, but give itbr a good beating whenever it approaches you to be fondled, and in course of time you will be altogether free from its importunities.
