Thought, word, deeds must be free from pride, greed and hatred...

Hands are not the only limbs or agents 
that are involved in  human activity. 
 
Whatever is done, whatever is seen, 
whatever is heard, one should be vigilant about its purity. 
 
Thought, word and deed must be free 
from pride, greed and hatred. 
 
The words that one utters must be free from these faults. 
Things that one yearns to hear must be free from these superficially attractive qualities;
the pleasures that one seeks must not be polluted by evil. 
 
You must first assimilate these mental lessons and 
demonstrate their effect in your speech. You must translate 
this lesson taught by words into action.
