Some persons advise you
to watch each step of the mind
and note down all the false steps
and evil intentions it encountered.
No, that is dangerous practice.
Do not pay attention to its vagaries;
strive for what you need and not
for what you have to avoid.
Count the false steps and you
will be led to commit them again.
Resolve to walk right and your
steps will not falter or fail.
Be like the tongue in midst
of the teeth, carefully, confidentially,
courageously going about its task, without getting bitten.
