Look at the crane - it walks about pretty
fast in water. But, during that walk, it cannot
catch any fish.
It must, for that purpose, become slow a
nd quiet and stand motionless. So also,
if one proceeds with greed, anger and other
evil qualities, one cannot secure the fish of
truth, love and peace.
You must chant the Name of the Lord.
Then, you will surely overcome the natural
traits of greed and anger.
Hold on to the Lord as the Universal Goal
and make Him the destination of your life's journey.
Practice control of speech and constant contemplation
of the Lord. Then you will be able to subdue your mind
that makes you restless, and gradually you will be filled
with all the good qualities!
