- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras/questions: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- The perfume of sandalwood,
- Rosebay, or jasmine,
- Cannot travel against the wind.
- But the fragrance of virtue
- Travels even against the wind,
- As far as the ends of the world.
- How much finer
- Is the fragrance of virtue
- Than of sandalwood, rosebay,
- Of the blue lotus, or jasmine!
- The fragrance of sandalwood or rosebay
- Does not travel far.
- But the fragrance of virtue
- Rises to the heavens.
- Desire never crosses the path
- Of virtuous and wakeful men.
- Their brightness sets them free.
- How sweetly the lotus grows
- In the litter of the wayside.
- Its pure fragrance delights the heart.
- Follow the awakened
- And from among the blind
- The light of your wisdom
- Will shine out purely.
