• Phenomena are
•      preceded by mind,
• Superseded by mind,
•      and consist of mind.
• ‍
• If one speaks
•      or acts,
•      with a defiled mind,
• Then suffering
•      follows,
• Like a wheel follows
•      the tracks
•      of a bullock.

• Phenomena are
•      preceded by mind,
• Superseded by mind,
•      and consist of mind,
• ‍
• If one speaks
•      or acts,
•      with a purified mind,
• Then bliss follows,
•      like shade
•      that never disappears.
