A grudge, even from a person who brings joy to the world, does not go away, just as water cannot be drawn from a dry well.

This couplet speaks about those who are deeply engrossed in worldly pleasures and materialistic pursuits. It suggests that their insatiable desires or internal burning, like greed or discontent, can never truly be extinguished. Even if you offer them comfort, salvation, or fulfill their immediate needs – metaphorically, pulling them out of a well – their inherent yearning or dissatisfaction remains. It highlights the idea that true contentment doesn't come from external gratification, but from within, and that a pleasure-seeker's chase for more never truly ends, regardless of what they are given.
