Let's have trust in our own good deed,
Even if it might take time to reap its good harvest,
Even if no one gives us sympathy,
Even if no one gives credit to us.
Good deed is good in itself.
Good or bad does not depend on anybody,
But on ourselves, the doer of the deed.
If we do bad,
Think bad,
Speak bad,
We're stuck with bad.
For example, if we smoulder with anger and jealousy ...
If we're weighed down with anxiety and various sense-objects,
We'll suffer ... suffer from our own doing.
No one puts a label on us,
Yet we suffer and are burnt inside already. |
