                                Being Excessive


                                               a
            Keep filling your stomach and you will vomit
            It is better to stop short

                                   b
            Keep sharpening your sword
            And the sword will break

                                           c
            Secure your life with the love of money
            And no one can protect it

                                       d
            Riches and titles bring arrogance
            And disaster will follow

            When you achieve and acquire fame
                                          e
            Remain humble
            This is the Way of God
