Meaning:
A contented life is better than a luzurious borrowed life. A spoon of soup is enough if you have no misery. A pleasant day's life is always better than a cursed life. A little help is better than an exposed life. Small is enough compared to mere words. Do not stretch your hand beyond what you can. It is good to reach God and attain salvation instead of depressing desires.
