By endeavour, diligence, discipline, and self-mastery, let the
wise man make (of himself) an island that no flood can overwhelm.
26
Fools, men of litde intelligence, give themselves over to
negligence, but the wise man protects his diligence as a supreme
treasure.
27
Give not yourselves unto negligence; have no intimacy with
sense pleasures. The man who meditates with diligence attains
much happiness.
33
This fickle, unsteady mind, difficult to guard, difficult to
control, the wise man makes straight, as the fletcher the arrow.
35
Hard to restrain, unstable is this mind; it flits wherever it lists.
Good it is to control the mind. A controlled mind brings happi-
ness.
38
He whose mind is unsteady, he who knows not the Good
Teaching, he whose confidence wavers, the wisdom of such a
person does not attain fullness.
42
Whatever harm a foe may do to a foe, or a hater to another
hater, a wrongly-directed mind may do one harm far exceeding
these.
43
Neither mother, nor father, nor any other relative can do a
man such good as is wrought by a rightly-directed mind.

The man who gathers only the flowers (of sense pleasures),

whose mind is entangled, death carries him away as a great flood a
sleeping village.
