they cannot understand..



दश धर्म न जानन्ति धृतराष्ट्र निबोध तान्।
मत्तः प्रमत्त उन्मत्तः श्रान्तः क्रुद्धो बुभुक्षितः।
त्वरमाणश्च लुब्धश्च भीतः कामी च ते दशः॥
महाभारते उद्योगपर्वनि॥३३-१०१-१०२
विदुर्नेत्याम्॥
daśa dharma na jānanti dhṛtarāṣṭra nibodha tān|
mattaḥ pramatta unmattaḥ śrāntaḥ kruddho bubhukṣitaḥ|
tvaramāṇaśca lubdhaśca bhītaḥ kāmī ca te daśaḥ||
mahābhārate udyogaparvani||33-101-102

A very profound statement by Vidura in Mahabharatam, while rendering advise to his elder brother Dhritarashtra..
This is part of Vidura vakyam or Vidura neeti
