"the wise man tells you where you have fallen
and where you yet may fall.
invaluable secrets.
follow him, follow the way.
let him chasten and teach you
and keep you from mischief.
the world may hate him
but good men love him.
do not look for bad company
or live with men who do not care.
find friends who love the truth.
drink deeply. live in serenity and joy.
the wise man delights in the truth
and follows the law of the awakened.
the farmer channels water to his land.
the fletcher whittles his arrows.
and the carpenter turns his wood.
so the wise man directs his mind.
the wind cannot shake a mountain.
neither praise nor blame moves the wise man.
he is clarity.
hearing the truth, he is like a lake,
pure and tranquil and deep."
