Speak only endearing speech, speech that is welcomed. Speech, when it brings no evil to others, is pleasant.

Everything changes, nothing remains without change.

Just as a line drawn on water with a stick will quickly vanish and will not last long; even so, brahmins, is human life like a line drawn on water. It is short, limited, and brief; it is full of suffering. One should do good and live a pure life; for none who is born can escape death.

Let us live in joy, never falling sick like those who hate us. Let us live in freedom, without hatred even among those who hate.

For one who is a learner and who has not yet come to master their mind, but who dwells aspiring for peace from that which binds, making it a matter concerning himself, I know of no other thing as helpful as giving close attention to the mind.

Once you know the nature of anger and joy is empty and you let them go, you free yourself from karma.
