Dhammapada · Verset 371

Pali

Jhāya bhikkhu mā pamādo,
Mā te kāmaguṇe ramessu cittaṁ;
Mā lohaguḷaṁ gilī pamatto,
Mā kandi “dukkhamidan”ti dayhamāno.

English

Practice absorption, don’t be negligent!
Don’t let the mind delight in the senses!
Don’t heedlessly swallow a hot iron ball!
And when it burns, don’t cry, “Oh, the pain!”
