553. With much sweat

```

Without sweat

I acquired teeming doubts.

Without regret

I threw them away.

Without sweat

I grabbed ignorance-night.

Without regret

I killed its life.

With much sweat

I have acquired an iota of faith.

If I ever lose it

My life-boat shall sink.

With much sweat

I have discovered an iota of Light.

If I ever lose it,

I shall become a soulless creature. ```
