28.9

The mind is the source of phenomena; / The mind is foremost, the mind commands. / If within one harbours evil, / And speaks or acts accordingly, / Sin and suffering follow of themselves, / As the cart crushes in the rut. / The mind is the source of phenomena; / The mind is foremost, the mind commands. / If within one harbours good, / And speaks or acts accordingly, / Blessing and joy follow of themselves, / Just as a shadow follows the form.
