Wisdom makes light the darkness of ignorance.
They who imagine truth in untruth and see untruth in truth will never arrive at the truth.
Unkind people spread malicious tales, and well-intentioned people also censure; but in either case the tranquil sage remains unconcerned. Nowhere is there to be found a disconcerted sage.
If you can keep as silent as a broken gong, then you have attained, when you know no anger.
He who, calm and clear as the moon, hankers no more for continuity-he is holy.
Better than a long speech is a single quietening word.
Men give up one thing to take up another, but in spite of numerous changes they do not find peace. They are no better than monkeys who let go one bough to take hold of another, only to let it go again.
A truly wise man does not play leapfrog with a unicorn.
One who is unrestrained in life-delusion overcomes; as the wind a weak tree.
If a string has one end, it has another.
We will be thankful and grateful. Not even the last thing that is done for us shall be forgotten.
Keeping away for all evil deeds, cultivation of life by doing good deeds and purification of mind from mental impunities.
All things that are born must die. Work hard for your own freedom from sorrow.
Only he who crosses the stream of life wishes to know what is known as unknowable.
There is no more self-contradictory concept than that of idle thoughts. What gives rise to the perception of a whole world can hardly be called idle. Every thought we have either contributes to truth or to illusion.
Do not interrogate silence because silence is mute; do not expect anything from the gods, nor should you try to bribe them with gifts, because it is in ourselves that we must look for liberation.
I am, I am not, I will be, I will not be are vein thoughts which is a sickness and once all are eliminated no desire arises.
I call wise man who, while he is innocent, endures insults and blows with a patience equal to its strength.
You have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy.
A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.
