Thought of the day # 225

Be humble, be harmless, Have no pretension,

Be upright, forbearing;

Serve your teacher in true obedience,

Keeping the mind and body clean,

Tranquil, steadfast, master of ego,

Standing apart from the things of senses,

Free from self;

Aware of the weakness in mortal nature.
