Understanding is the heartwood of well-spoken words.

Know from the rivers in clefts and in crevices: those in small channels flow noisily, the great flow silent. Whatever’s not full makes noise. Whatever is full is quiet.

In whom there is no sympathy for living beings: know him as an outcast.

Not by rituals and resolutions, nor by much learning, nor by celibacy, nor even by meditation can you find the supreme, immortal joy of nirvana until you extinguish your self-will.

There is no fear for one whose mind is not filled with desires.
