Don't give way to heedlessness
or to intimacy
with sensual delight —
for a heedful person,
absorbed in [concentration],
attains an abundance of ease.
When the wise person drives out
heedlessness
with heedfulness,
having climbed the high tower
of discernment,
sorrow-free,
he observes the sorrowing crowd —
as the enlightened man,
having scaled
a summit,
the fools on the ground below.
