It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If you speak or act with an evil thought, pain follows. If you speak or act with a pure thought, happiness follows, like a shadow that never leaves.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
