Vain Conceits
translated from the Pali by
Maurice O'Connell Walshe



...the deva spoke this verse...:

Who has not tamed all vain conceits,[1]

Who lacks in wisdom, uncontrolled,

Heedless, in the woods may dwell alone,

Yet will not escape the realm of death.

[The Blessed One replied:]

Who, concentrated, leaves conceits behind,

His heart and mind[2] set fair, and wholly freed,

Heedful dwelling in the woods alone,

Shall indeed escape the realm of death.[3]

Notes

1. Maanakaama: "conceit and lust."

2. Citta: "mind," but often like the metaphorical use of "heart" in English.

3. He will pass "beyond death" to Nibbaana.
