- Reader of the sutras: Sw Anand Vimal.
- The sutra
- You are good when you are fully awake in your speech.
- Yet you are not evil when you sleep while your tongue staggers without purpose.
- And even stumbling speech may strengthen a weak tongue.
- You are good when you walk to your goal firmly and with bold steps.
- Yet you are not evil when you go thither limping.
- Even those who limp go not backward.
- But you who are strong and swift, see that you do not limp before the lame, deeming it kindness.
- You are good in countless ways, and you are not evil when you are not good,
- You are only loitering and sluggard.
- Pity that the stags cannot teach swiftness to the turtles.
- In your longing for your giant self lies your goodness: and that longing is in all of you.
- But in some of you that longing is a torrent rushing with might to the sea, carrying the secrets of the hillsides and the songs of the forest.
- And in others it is a flat stream that loses itself in angles and bends and lingers before it reaches the shore.
- But let not him who longs much say to him who longs little, "Wherefore are you slow and halting?"
- For the truly good ask not the naked, "where is your garment?" nor the houseless, "what has be-fallen your house?"
