Open your mind maybe this can change you life
Mind foreruns all mental conditions,
Mind is chief, mind-made are they;
If one speaks or acts with a wiked mind,
Then suffering will follows him
Even as the wheel, the hoof of the ox.
Heedful among the deedless,
Wide awake among those asleep,
The wise man advances
As a swift horse leaving a weak nag behind.

The wise man advances
As a swift horse leaving a weak nag behind.
The flickering, fickle mind,
Difficult to guard, diffucult to control,
The wise man straightens,
As a fletcher, an arrow.

What neither mother, nor father,
Nor any other relative can do,
A well-directed mind does
And thereby elevates one.

Things done or left undone by others.

Who is better or equal,
Let him firmly pursue his solitary career;
There is no fellowship with the fool.

An evil deed committed
Does not immediately bare fruit,
Just as milk curdles not at once;
Smouldering like fire covered by ashes,
It follows the fool.

Should one see a wise man,
Who, like a revealer of treasures,
Points out faults and reproves,
Let one associate with such a one,
Well is it, not ill, to associate with such a one.

And shield from wrong.

Displeasing is he to the bad.

Is not shaken by the wind.
So do the wise remain unmoved
By praise or blame.

Even so, on hearing the Dharma,
The wise become exceedingly peaceful.

His mind delights in evil.

Should a man commit evil,
Let him not do it again and again,
Nor turn his heart to delight therein;
Painful is the heaping-up of evil.

Drop by drop, is the water pot filled,
Likewise the fool, gathering little by little,
Fills himself with evil.

And then instruct others.

Shall never get defiled.
