Explanation in English

If one thirsts for water, yet grows to hate the saving stream,
How can a life be lived then?
If a task must be performed, but hatred for it grows inside,
How can that work be finished when all passion has died?
If you wish to reach the summit, but get weary on the track,
How will you ever find your goal if halfway you turn back?
While walking in the brilliant light, if darkness suddenly descends,
How do you walk easily in life?
If we light a lamp of life that holds no oil to feed the spark,
How can it ever shed its glow and drive away the dark?
