There are those who discover they can leave behind destructive reactions and become patient as the earth, unmoved by fires of anger or fear, unshaken as a pillar, unperturbed as a clear and quiet pool.

Happiness or sorrow- whatever befalls you, walk on untouched, unattached.

As you travel though life, offer good wishes to each being you meet.

Let the wise one control his thoughts, for they are difficult to perceive, often elusive, and they rush about frantically: a mind well controlled achieves peace and happiness.

Do not carry with you your mistakes. Do not carry your cares. Travel on alone. Like an elephant in the forest.

Just as the bee takes the nectar and leaves without damaging the color or scent of the flowers, so should the sage act in a village.

When one sees that everything exists as an illusion, one can live in a higher sphere than ordinary man.
