An Awkward Comparison

When the foundations of homes are gone, believers are like a single soul.  
Differences and problems arise from this statement because there is no example like this.  
There are countless differences from the figure of a lion to the figure of a brave human.  
But at the time of example, O keen observer, look at unity from the perspective of self-sacrifice.  
That brave one is ultimately an example of a lion, yet he is not like a lion in all respects.  
This realm has no unified image for me to show you an example.  
I will bring an incomplete example to relieve the mind from bewilderment.  
At night, they place a lamp in every house to escape darkness with its light.  
This body is the lamp, its light like the soul, needing a wick and other things.  
This lamp has six wicks, these senses, all based on sleep and food.  
Without food and sleep, it does not live for a moment, nor does it live with food and sleep.  
Without its wick and oil, it does not endure, and with wick and oil, it is also unfaithful.  
Because its light's cause seeks death, like the one who lives, whose bright day is his death.  
All human senses are also impermanent because they are nothing before the light of the Day of Resurrection.  
The light of the senses and the souls of our ancestors is not entirely perishable, nor like plants.
