All [worldly life] brings suffering; suffering is pain, suffering is the state of longing. ||*1
A sufferer, practicing difficult conduct, exhausts all suffering ||*2
through ascetic exertion. Therefore, with an undaunted mind, a sufferer should endure all suffering. ||*3
So spoke the arhat seer Kūrmāputra.
Popular gossip might trouble him, [even if] steadfast in austerity and self-restraint;
and one who practices blameworthy conduct ruins absorption. //1
Whoever, even out of indolence, / does not fall into agitation,
even by that he becomes happy; / but how much more if a faithful person strives! //2
Having thoroughly understood indolence / as the bondage of birth and death,
grasping the highest and supreme goal, / one should wander forth with energy. //3
Indeed, acting without desire, / one should wander forth for the sake of the self;
having recognized the blameworthy by means of the blameless, / you should wander forth!" Thus [he said]. //4
"Thus he became perfected, enlightened… he does not come here to this purpose again"—so I say.
