- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras/questions: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- If you determine your course
- With force or speed,
- You miss the way of the law.
- Quietly consider
- What is right and what is wrong.
- Receiving all opinions equally,
- Without haste, wisely,
- Observe the law.
- Who is wise,
- The eloquent or the quiet man?
- Be quiet,
- And loving and fearless.
- For the mind talks,
- But the body knows.
- Gray hairs do not make a master.
- A man may grow old in vain.
- The true master lives in truth,
- In goodness and restraint,
- Nonviolence, moderation and purity.
- Fine words or fine features
- Cannot make a master
- Out of a jealous and greedy man.
- Only when envy and selfishness
- Are rooted out of him
- May he grow in beauty.
- A man may shave his head
- But if he still lies and neglects his work,
- If he clings to desire and attachment,
- How can he follow the way?
- The true seeker
- Subdues all waywardness.
- He has submitted his nature to quietness.
- He is a true seeker
- Not because he begs
- But because he follows the lawful way,
- Holding back nothing, holding to nothing,
- Beyond good and beyond evil,
- Beyond the body and beyond the mind.
