Full of love for all things in the world, practicing virtue, in order to benefit others, this man alone is happy.

Life is easy For the man who is without shame, Impudent as a crow, A vicious gossip, Vain, meddlesome, dissolute. But life is hard For the man who quietly undertakes The way of perfection, With purity, detachment and vigor. He sees light.

Thousands upon thousands of lights is inferior to a light of heart.
