Who are the Child People, what are their values, concerns, weaknesses, and secret?

The child people are the “average people”, individuals who are concerned with material comfort, and things of the physical world. They are called the child people because they live like children or in an “animal like fashion”. Opposite from the Samanas who are seeking spiritual enlightenment, the child people are content in their ways and are only seeking material gain. The child people scold and insult one another, attesting to their immaturity, they “lament about paints the Samanas smile at”. They value wealth and success, and are concerned with money, petty pleasures and petty honors. One of their weaknesses is their lack of inner sanctuary, the ability of self-knowledge. The child people can love; that is their secret. They can love one another, themselves, and money.
