L’homme devient sourd ; le sang se trouble ; l’esprit perd sa stabilité ; de rudes afflictions surgissent ; et même l’effort comme l’accomplissement se voient entravés. Colère, coups portés, rejet âpre, agitation dissimulée, brûlure de la détresse, et enfin le désir qui se change en orgueil enivré : ainsi s’accroît le désordre intérieur.
