村落的人們湧向悉達多，氣憤難平的指責他，為什麼讓狼去吃他們的食物，包括小孩？
悉達多剛開始沒聽懂村民的話，因為他的腦海裡面沒有他們描述的情景，雖然他也看過人變成狼的樣子，但他實在無法想像狼吃小孩的畫面，而受嚴重創傷的村民，那會理解悉達多那純潔的心靈！
給我們一個交待，村民怒吼著，悉達多想解釋；「我不懂狼，況且牠也不歸我管」，但沒有用，傷心淹沒了一切，村民明明看到狼從悉達多那裡出來。
悉達多匆忙離開他的修學處，一路狂奔去找他的師父，我到底哪裡錯了？！悉遧多問他的師父。
他的指導者看著他，只問他：你的腦海線條為什麼只剩下一條？！？！？！
腦海不是要很多的點、線，很多的點、線才能構成的嗎？
當悉達多告訴他的指導者，他後來只吃一種食物叫「聖旨」時，他的指導者無言，因為他明明白白的囑咐過他，向寬廣處移動，向海洋處游去，千萬不要停留。

The residents of the nearby village were enraged with Siddhartha, demanding to know why he had allowed the wolf to eat their animals and even a few of their children.
Siddhartha, however, found it difficult at first to understand what they were so riled up about. Although he had seen his disciple turn into a wolf, he simply couldn’t imagine him actually eating a child. Nor was it possible for the villagers to understand how Siddhartha could possibly be so simple-minded.
Faced with the villagers’ wrath, Siddhartha tried to explain that he was unfamiliar with the ways of wolves, and that in any case he had no control over the wolf’s actions. But it was of no avail, for the villagers’ sorrow had closed their ears, and all that mattered to them was the fact that the wolf had come from Siddhartha’s hermitage.
Making a hasty exit from his hermitage, he went straight to see his teacher to try to find out where he had gone wrong.
His teacher took one look at him and asked, “How is it that there is only one line of thought left in your mind?”
After all, isn’t the mind composed of a large number of interwoven threads?
When Siddhartha told his teacher that these days he only ate zhengzhi, his teacher remained silent, since he had once clearly admonished him that for one passing through a wide open expanse or swimming in the ocean, the most important thing is to keep moving.
