```

Between an ungrateful person

And an impure person,

O seeker,

Whom do you prefer?

"I prefer an impure person

To an ungrateful person,

For I feel I will be able

To illumine and transform

An impure person,

But I will never be able

To transform

An ungrateful person.

Needless to say, I am saying this

From my personal experience." ```
