What's all this talk, about religious and spiritual texts?

(As if you don't have enough to think about!)

Are you getting suitably energized by all those texts you're passing back and forth - in the form of reading, and talking about - like some kind of waterpipe? Or are you drifting even deeper into sleep?

Sure, the waterpipe is attractive to look at, and craftily manufactured, by certifiable artisans and craftsmen - with students no less - but the stuff in the bowl is the thing, NOT the pipe!

"What's the stuff in the bowl, master?"

Are you kidding!?!
You still don't know do you, after all the finger-pointing, and head-banging.
The "stuff" is not in the bowl, stupid - er, I mean, student.
