Sole dominion over the earth, going to heaven, lordship over all the worlds: the fruit of stream-entry excels them.

The mind is excitable and unsteady; it is difficult to control and restrain. The wise one trains his mind to be upright as a Fletcher straightens an arrow.

Mindfulness is the way to the Deathless (Nibbana); unmindfulness is the way to Death. Those who are mindful do not die; those who are not mindful are as if already dead.

Don’t indulge in heedlessness! Don’t come near to sensual pleasures! The heedful and contemplative attains abundant bliss.

The mind is difficult to control; swiftly and lightly, it moves and lands wherever it pleases. It is good to tame the mind, for a well-tamed mind brings happiness.
