Isaiah 56:11 Meaning Yes

Avijjā: Not knowing Avijjā is the not-knowing that sits under every wrong turn. Shepherds who cannot understand still walk out in front, still carry the staff, and the flock follows, so it is the blind leading the blind and the whole line drifts off the road together. Standing watch does not repair this: a man can be posted on the wall all night and see nothing, because keeping the post and having eyes are two different things.

Taṇhā: Craving Taṇhā is thirst, the pull toward one more. Dogs that can never have enough are gnawing a bare bone: much chewing, no nourishment, and the jaws only tire. Each mouthful of gain sharpens the appetite it was supposed to settle, which is why no quarter of the world, however much it yields, ever comes back full enough.

Lābhasakkāra: Gain and honor Lābhasakkāra is profit together with the standing it buys. Turning to his own gain, each one has swallowed a baited hook: the meal goes down easily and the line stays in the flesh, and from then on someone else is holding the rod. This is the standing danger for anyone set over others, since the sheep quietly stop being a charge and start being an income.

Micchā-ājīva: Wrong livelihood Micchā-ājīva is making a living in a way that feeds on harm. Gain from every quarter means wool, milk, and meat taken by the very men posted at the gate to keep the wolves off. From outside the work looks unchanged, the same rounds walked at the same hours, while the direction of the whole thing has quietly reversed and the flock is now feeding the shepherd.

Santuṭṭhi: Contentment Santuṭṭhi is being satisfied with what is already at hand. It is the only thing that ends never enough, because the hunger closes from the inside and no further helping is required to do it. Someone holding it is wealthy on very little, and the flock is safe in their care, since a shepherd who wants nothing off the sheep is finally free to look after them.
