notes
synopsis
Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
The sutra
For if in your renunciation
You are reckless and break your word,
If your purpose wavers,
You will not find the light.
Do what you have to do
Resolutely, with all your heart.
The traveler who hesitates
Only raises dust on the road.
It is better to do nothing
Than to do what is wrong.
For whatever you do, you do to yourself.
Like a border town well guarded,
Guard yourself within and without.
Let not a single moment pass
Lest you fall into darkness.
Feel shame only where shame is due.
Fear only what is fearful.
See evil only in what is evil.
Lest you mistake the true way
And fall into darkness.
See what is.
See what is not.
Follow the true way.
Rise.
