O heart, why do you enter upon distress, striving daily in many ways / to please the minds of others to win their favor? / When you are tranquil within, a solitary resolve, / like a wish-fulfilling gem rising of itself, does it not satisfy your every desire? // While there is indeed the river of the three worlds caressing Hara's head, / providing a good livelihood through bark garments and sweet fruits from banyan boughs, / what wise man would look upon the face of wretched people, / suffering extreme agony from the disease born of the fever of misfortune, / unless he felt compassion for his own distressed family?
