-
The ignorant man is an ox.
He grows in size, not in wisdom.
-
For in craving pleasure or in nursing pain
There is only sorrow.
-
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.
-
Free yourself from attachment.
-
Fresh milk takes time to sour.
So a fool's mischief
Takes time to catch up with him.
Like the embers of a fire
It smoulders within him.
-
The wise man tells you
Where you have fallen
And where you yet may fall - Invaluable secrets!
Follow him, follow the way.
-
By your own folly
You will be brought as low
As you worst enemy wishes.
-
Health, contentment and trust
Are your greatest possessions,
And freedom your greatest joy.
Look within.
Be still.
-
By your own efforts
Waken yourself, watch yourself.
And live joyfully.
You are the master.
