- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- A master gives up mischief.
- He is serene.
- He leaves everything behind him.
- He does not take offense
- And he does not give it.
- He never returns evil for evil.
- Alas for the man
- Who raises his hand against another,
- And even more for him
- Who returns the blow.
- Resist the pleasures of life
- And the desire to hurt --
- Till sorrows vanish.
- Never offend
- By what you think or say or do.
- Honor the man who is awake
- And shows you the way.
- Honor the fire of his sacrifice.
- Matted hair or family or caste
- Do not make a master
- But the truth and goodness
- With which he is blessed.
- Your hair is tangled
- And you sit on a deerskin.
- What folly!
- When inside you are ragged with lust.
- The master's clothes are in tatters.
- His veins stand out,
- He is wasting away.
- Alone in the forest
- He sits and meditates.
