It is not because they run out of sky that birds turn back;
It is because they lack the strength to keep on flying.
Just so, the śrāvaka disciples and the bodhisattvas
Cannot express Buddha’s qualities, as infinite as space.
Chapter 11, verse 41

ནམ་མཁའ་མེད་པས་འདབ་ཆགས་ལྡོག་པར་མི་འགྱུར་གྱི། །

འདི་ནི་རང་མཐུ་ཟད་པས་ལྡོག་པར་འགྱུར་དེ་བཞིན། །
སློབ་མ་དང་བཅས་སངས་རྒྱས་སྲས་རྣམས་སངས་རྒྱས་ཀྱི། །

ཡོན་ཏན་མཁའ་ལྟར་མཐའ་ཡས་མ་བརྗོད་ལྡོག་པར་འགྱུར། །

It is not because they run out of sky that birds turn back;
It is because they lack the strength to keep on flying.
Just so, the shravaka disciples and the bodhisattvas,
Can not express Buddha’s qualities, as infinite as space.
