Mindfulness will bring you
everlasting life,
Negligence will bring you
struggle everlasting.
Supreme happiness
comes to the meditative man,
He looks on the sorrowful masses
as the eagle looks down from the sky.
Be vigilant
in what you allow your thoughts rest upon,
Advance like a fire
burn out the chains of ignorance.
Shape your mind
as the blacksmith does metal,
Be strong, patient
and skilful.
Your mind will want to wander
it can become unruly,
The wise pay attention
guards it well and controls it,
Thus the wise man is fearless.
An uncontrolled mind
will do much harm,
A well directed mind
is like a true arrow – feeds and protects.
