- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- We are what we think.
- All that we are arises with our thoughts.
- With our thoughts we make the world.
- Speak or act with an impure mind
- And trouble will follow you
- As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
- We are what we think.
- 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.
- "Look how he abused me and beat me,
- How he threw me down and robbed me."
- Live with such thoughts and you live in hate.
- "Look how he abused me and beat me,
- How he threw me down and robbed me."
- Abandon such thoughts, and live in love.
- In this world
- Hate never yet dispelled hate.
- Only love dispels hate.
- This is the law,
- Ancient and inexhaustible.
- You too shall pass away.
- Knowing this, how can you quarrel?
- How easily the wind overturns a frail tree.
- Seek happiness in the senses,
- Indulge in food and sleep,
- And you too will be uprooted.
- The wind cannot overturn a mountain.
- Temptation cannot touch the man
- Who is awake, strong and humble,
- Who masters himself and minds the law.
- If a man's thoughts are muddy,
- If he is reckless and full of deceit,
- How can he wear the yellow robe?
- Whoever is master of his own nature,
- Bright, clear and true,
- He may indeed wear the yellow robe.
