20: The Chapter about the Path – 107
Sabbe dhammā anattā ti, yadā paññāya passati,
All components (of mind and body) 1 are without self, when one sees this with wisdom,
atha nibbindatī dukkhe – esa maggo visuddhiyā. [279]
then one grows tired of suffering – this is the path to purity.
Uṭṭhānakālamhi anuṭṭhahāno,
The one who has not energy at a time for energy,
yuvā balī, ālasiyaṁ upeto,
youthful, strong, (but) given to laziness,
saṁsannasaṅkappamano kusīto –
whose mind lacks (right) intention and is indolent –
paññāya maggaṁ alaso na vindati. [280]
the lazy one does not find wisdom’s path.
Vācānurakkhī manasā susaṁvuto,
Verbally guarded, well-restrained in mind,
kāyena ca akusalaṁ na kay i rā,
not doing a wrong deed with the body,
ete tayo kammapathe visodhaye,
one should purify these three paths of action,
ārādhaye maggaṁ isippaveditaṁ. [281]
one should undertake the path shown by seers.
Yogā ve jāyatī bhūri, ayogā bhūrisaṅkhayo,
From effort arises wisdom, without effort wisdom is destroyed,
etaṁ dvedhāpathaṁ ñatvā bhavāya vibhavāya ca,
having understood these two paths of development and decline,
tathattānaṁ niveseyya yathā bhūri pavaḍḍhati. [282]
one should establish oneself so that one’s wisdom increases.
