Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.
Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you.
An ignorant man committing evil deeds does not realise the consequences. The imprudent man is consumed by his own deeds, like one burnt by fire.
Let us live happily, we who have no impediments. We shall subsist on joy even as the radiant gods.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.
Win over the ill-natured man by goodness…Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.
