Udanavarga 2.30

2.30

「大人體無欲，在所照然明，
雖或遭苦樂，不高現其智。
大賢無世事，不願子財國，
常守戒慧道，不貪邪富貴。
智人知動搖，譬如沙中樹，
朋友志未強，隨色染其素。」

“The great man is entirely free from covetous desire—he dwells in a place of light himself enlightened. Although perchance he meet with sorrow, he rejoices; without ostentation, he exhibits his wisdom. The wise man (bhadra) concerns himself with no worldly business; he desires neither wealth, children, or possessions (land), always carefully observing the precepts, and walking in the way of supreme wisdom, he hankers not after strange doctrine (or wealth or honour). The wise man, knowing the character of instability, as a tree in the midst of sand (uses every effort) to change his friend whose mind is unfixed, and to bring him back from impurity to virtue (purity).”
