That We Should Renounce It

English Translation · I.P. 853

OUR curious desires have created the world and bring pain on ourselves. It would be well to end the game; if you prolong it, you prolong the noise. If, to learn what fear is, you fill your heart with fear, Tuka says, O mind, you will be turned yourself into living fear. THE WORLD

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
