- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Be quick to do good.
- If you are slow,
- The mind, delighting in mischief,
- Will catch you.
- Turn away from mischief.
- Again and again, turn away,
- Before sorrow befalls you.
- Set your heart on doing good.
- Do it over and over again,
- And you will be filled with joy.
- A fool is happy
- Until his mischief turns against him.
- And a good man may suffer
- Until his goodness flowers.
- Do not make light of your failings,
- Saying, "What are they to me?"
- A jug fills drop by drop.
- So the fool becomes brimful of folly.
- Do not belittle your virtues,
- Saying, "They are nothing."
- A jug fills drop by drop.
- So the wise man becomes brimful of virtue.
