O you students of knowledge! My advice to you is to work hard in acquiring knowledge and to remain patient; patient in the face of being fatigued. Whoever desires knowledge must remain patient in the face of hunger. They must show patience regarding {the need for} sleep.

Inevitably, the student of knowledge must withdraw from {too much interaction with} creation, and they must restrict their conversation with friends. So, whoever cannot deal with hunger or lacking sleep, or cannot accept being away from creation {in general} and friends, they can give up the desire for knowledge
