Sabhiyattheragāthā Sabhiya
“Pare ca na vijānanti, When others do not understand,
mayamettha yamāmase; let us, who do understand this,
Ye ca tattha vijānanti, restrain ourselves in this regard;
tato sammanti medhagā. for that is how conflicts are laid to rest.
Yadā ca avijānantā, And when those who don’t understand
iriyantyamarā viya; behave as though they were immortal,
Vijānanti ca ye dhammaṁ, those who understand the Dhamma
āturesu anāturā. are like the healthy among the sick.
Yaṁ kiñci sithilaṁ kammaṁ, Any lax act,
saṅkiliṭṭhañca yaṁ vataṁ; any corrupt observance,
Saṅkassaraṁ brahmacariyaṁ, or suspicious spiritual life,
na taṁ hoti mahapphalaṁ. is not very fruitful.
Yassa sabrahmacārīsu, Whoever has no respect
gāravo nūpalabbhati; for their spiritual companions
Ārakā hoti saddhammā, is as far from true Dhamma
nabhaṁ puthaviyā yathā”ti. as the firmament from the earth.
