(Sayings of the Dhamma)
Citta
(Thought)
36. Sududdasaṁ sunipuṇaṁ,
The thought, hard to see, subtle
yattha kāmanipātinaṁ;
Alighting where it wishes
Cittaṁ rakkhetha medhāvī,
The sage protects the thought
cittaṁ guttaṁ sukhāvahaṁ.
The watched thought brings happiness.

37. Dūraṅgamaṁ ekacaraṁ
Far-ranging, solitary,
asarīraṁ guhāsayaṁ;
Incorporeal and hidden (is the thought)
Ye cittaṁ saṁyamessanti,
Those who restrain it
mokkhanti mārabandhanā.
Will be freed from Māra's bonds.
