6.59

人心是毒根　口為禍之門
心念而口言　身受其殃罪
不念人善惡　身作身受患
意欲害於彼　不覺車轢頭
以為甘露法　令人生天上
心念而口言　身受其福德
有念善惡人　自作安身本
意念一切善　如王得天位

"The human mind is the root of poison; / The mouth is the gate of disaster. / The mind conceives, and the mouth speaks; / The body suffers the retribution and sin. / Not thinking of others' good or evil, / What the body does, the body suffers the misfortune. / Wishing in his thought to harm the other, / Unaware, the carriage crushed off his head. / Regarding it as the nectar of the Dharma (amṛta-dharma), / It causes a person to be born in heaven. / The mind conceives, and the mouth speaks; / The body receives the blessing and merit. / The person who conceives good or evil / Makes for himself the foundation of bodily security. / If the thought focuses on all good, / Like the king, one attains the heavenly station."
