Emotions are fleeting, rising
and falling beyond our reach,
and it's only when we try to
really grasp them in meditation
that we realize how impossible
they are to pin down.

Easy to do are things that are bad and harmful to oneself. But exceedingly difficult to do are things that are good and beneficial.

It's only our delusions that
blind us and drag us deeper
into darkness and despair.
Instead of pursuing
preoccupations that lead
to a totally meaningless
endgame, we should pursue
those interests that bring us
spiritual nourishment and
enrich our lives.

The mind that is
full of defects
Has nonetheless
a multitude of qualities.
Whatever is cultivated,
that comes to be.

Geese, herons and peacocks,
Elephants and spotted deer,
All are frightened of the lion
Regardless of their bodies’ size.
In the same way among human beings
The small one endowed with wisdom—
He is the one that is truly great,
Not the fool with a well-built body.
~SN21.6
