Whoever wants to do later
what he should have done first,
falls away from the easeful state
& later burns with remorse.
One should speak
as one would act,
& not
as one wouldn't.
When one speaks without acting,
the wise, they can tell.
How very easeful:
Unbinding,
as taught by the Rightly
Self-awakened One —
sorrowless,
dustless,
secure,
where stress
& suffering
cease.
