- The fever passion exists not for him who has completed 🏁 journey, who is sorrowless and wholly set free 🕊️, and has broken all ties ⛓️.
- The mindful ones exert 🏃♂️ themselves. They are not attached to any home; like swans 🦢 that abandon the lake, they leave home after home behind.
- Those who do not accumulate 💎 and are wise regarding food 🍞, who object is the Void, the Unconditioned Freedom - their track cannot be traced, like that of birds 🐦 in the air ☁️.
- He whose cankers are destroyed 🤑 and who is not attached to food 🍞, whose object is the Void, the Unconditional Freedom - his path cannot be traced, like that of birds 🐦 in the air ☁️.
- Even the gods hold dear the wise one, whose senses are subdued like horses well trained by a charioteer, whose pride is destroyed and who is free from the cankers.
- There is no more worldly existence for the wise one who, like the earth 🌎, resents nothing ⚪, who is firm 🗻 as a high pillar of as pure 🤍 as deep pool free from mud.
- Calm is his thought, calm his speech 😶, and calm his deed 🤲, who, truly knowing 📕, is wholly freed 🕊️, perfectly tranquil 🪷 and wise.
- The man who is without blind faith, who knows 🫀 the Uncreate 🕊️, who has severed all links ⛓️, destroyed all causes (for karma, ☯️ good and evil), and thrown out all desires - he, truly, is the most excellent of men.
- Inspiring indeed is that place where Arahats dwell, be it in a village 🏡, a forest 🌳, or a hill ⛰️.
- Inspiring are the 🪴 forests 🌴 in which worldlings find no pleasure 🥱.There, the passionless will rejoice 🫶, for they seek no sensual pleasures.
